Active clinical trials for "Hypertriglyceridemia"

Study hypothesis: Lovaza (purified prescription fish oil) is likely to help HDL (the "good cholesterol") work better. Study summary: We are testing effects of Lovaza versus placebo, on various aspects of HDL and other lipoproteins, in patients with high triglyceride levels. Study funding: This study is being funded by an investigator-initiated research grant from Glaxo Smith Kline.

This is a single-center, randomized, open-label, single- and multiple-dose, five-treatment, two-period, four-way parallel study comparing the pharmacokinetics (PK) of Diazoxide Choline Controlled-Release Tablet (DCCR) administered orally under fed and fasting conditions at two dose levels.

The purpose of this study is to test whether chronic administration of the drug acipimox will improve hyperlipidemia and insulin sensitivity among HIV infected patients experiencing highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) associated metabolic disturbances.

The goal of this project is to elucidate interactions between the gut microbiome, anti-inflammatory/anti-oxidant food metabolomic signatures, and human inflammation phenotypes. Inflammation plays both direct and indirect roles in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D), atherogenic cardiovascular diseases, and other causes of morbidity and mortality. Aronia melanocarpa (Aronia berries) are rich in bioactive polyphenolic compounds, which have been shown to lower inflammation and favorably impact metabolism. However, there is tremendous inter-individual variability in the bioavailability of polyphenolics and production of bioactive phenolic metabolites in the colon that depends, at least in part, on digestive metabolism by the gut microbiota. Little is known about the complex interactions among the gut microbiome, anti-inflammatory food metabolomic signatures, and human inflammation phenotypes. This study will utilize a systems-level approach to disentangle these complex interactions. The specific study objectives are as follows: to determine the impact of Aronia supplementation on inflammation, metabolic health, and gut microbiome composition to determine the static and dynamic metabolomic signature of Aronia based on an Aronia supplementation period and responses to a high-fat meal challenge

The purpose of this study is to determine whether hepatic de novo lipogenesis (DNL) in response to the ingestion of a mixture of glucose and fructose is greater in South Asians compared to controls (Caucasians).

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness and tolerability of garlic pills in lowering cholesterol and triglycerides in hyperlipidemic HIV-infected individuals who are being treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).

This pilot project will determine whether a diet culturally-adapted to Puerto Ricans can effectively decrease cardiometabolic risk for diabetes. This will help define a culturally-appropriate, feasible, and sustainable diet intervention aimed at reducing type 2 diabetes and obesity outcomes.

To determine the efficacy of MAT9001 compared to placebo in lowering fasting triglyceride levels in subjects with very high fasting triglyceride levels ≥ 500 and < 2000 mg/dL.

The major purpose of this study is to examine the effect of two sources of dietary omega-3 fatty acids, each given at two doses, on potential health benefits related to cardiovascular disease prevention. The two sources of dietary omega-3 fatty acids will be fish oil, and flaxseed oil.

The purpose is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of IONIS APOC-III-LRx given to healthy volunteer subjects.
