Effects of Omega-3 PUFA on Lipids, Inflammatory Factors and Body Composition in Patients With Hyperlipidemia...
HyperlipidemiasPatients with hyperlipidemia will be allocated into intervention or control group randomly. Participants of intervention group will be provided with Omega-3 PUFA, while participants of control group will be provided with placebo which looked same as the drug of intervention group. During the study, all participants can have nutritional counseling and education for low-fat diet. The lipids, inflammatory factors, weight, and body composition will be assessed and recorded before, at the middle, and end of the study.
Inflammatory Aspects of Glucose in Hyperlipidemia and Diabetes
AtherosclerosisLeukocyte Activation Disorder2 moreIn this study, we will investigate both inflammatory systems in healthy volunteers and patients with T2DM on insulin therapy and hyperlipidemia (both familial hyperlipidemia (FH) and familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH)) during an OGTT.
Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) Detection and Management of Metabolic Syndrome in Patients With Mental...
HyperlipidemiaDiabetes1 moreThe study was a 12-month, multi-centered, quasi-experimental design to assess point-of-care (POCT) screening/monitoring of subjects on antipsychotic agents for metabolic syndrome. Subjects were also randomized to either an Extended Treatment Group (ETG) defined by receiving comprehensive medication management (CMM) pharmacist interventions or a Usual Treatment Group (UTG) receiving no CMM interventions. All subjects were recruited from three community mental health clinic settings in Minnesota.
Postprandial Effects of Milk and Milk Constituents
HyperlipidemiaInflammationThe purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of milk or the milk constituents calcium and protein to a high-fat breakfast affects the postprandial lipid and inflammatory response.
Pilot Study Testing Feasibility of Health Screening at Farm Site
Diabetes ScreeningHyperlipidemia Screening1 moreTest the feasibility of performing worksite screening of Hypertension, Diabetes and Hyperlipidemia for six months
Effects of Soy Protein on Serum paraoxonase1 Activity and Lipoproteins in Postmenopausal Women
PostmenopausalHyperlipidemiaparaoxonase 1 is involved to prevent LDL and HDL oxidation,so increase of it's activity leads to lower risk of coronary heart disease.In postmenopausal women ,we have decrease of paraoxonase1 activity and soy proteins may increase paraoxonase1 activity
Effects of Use of a Connected Pillbox On Medication Adherence
Diabetes MellitusHypertension1 moreMedication adherence is defined as the extent to which a patient takes his or her medication as prescribed by their healthcare provider. One third to one half of all patients in the United States do not take their medication as directed, resulting in nearly $100B in avoidable hospital costs per year. Recent efforts to improve medication adherence in patients with multiple comorbidities have turned to case management and disease management programs. Connected monitoring devices offer an alternative- or supplement- to frequent nurse visits and outreach. These devices enable frequent monitoring and intervention but can also generate large volumes of data that can be difficult for care teams to manage. The present study explores the use of one such device- a technology-enabled, connected pillbox. Given the continued emphasis on bending the cost curve in US healthcare, clinical validation of tools that may improve the management of costly chronic diseases, such as diabetes, is essential.
Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Oral Probucol Tablets in Patients With Hyperlipidemia - Post-Marketing...
HyperlipidemiaThe primary objective of this post marketing surveillance (PMS) is to determine the safety and efficacy of probucol in lowering the level of serum cholesterol in the blood.
Comparing a Low-GI Nutrigenetic and Ketogenic Diet for Weight Loss With 18 Month Follow-up
Weight LossGlucose4 moreThe investigators followed a convenience sample of 114 overweight and obese subjects from a weight loss clinic who followed a 24-week dietary intervention. The subjects self-selected whether to follow a standardized ketogenic diet (n=53), or a personalised low-glycemic index (GI) diet utilising information from 28 single nucleotide polymorphisms (n=61). After the 24-week study period, the subjects were monitored for an additional 18 months.
The Effect of n-3 PUFA Plant Oil Intake on Human Metabolism
HyperlipidemiasThe findings of previous experiments suggested that polyunsaturated fatty acids(PUFAs) has been linked to anti-hyperlipidemia, and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.This is a randomized double-blind trial, aims to study the effect of PUFAs on blood lipids and human metabolism. Firstly, the investigators will investigate the efficacy of mixed plant oil(echium oil, camelina oil, safflower oil) and pure echium oil on improving the levels of blood lipids. Secondly, next generation sequencing (NGS), ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (UPLC-MS/MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry detection will be conducted to explore the role of PUFAs on gut microbiota as well as metabolites. Thirdly, single nucleotide polymorphism will be genotyped by Time-of-flight mass spectrometry to find the gene-environment interaction effect.
