Your doctor may also examine the level of triglycerides. If you have multiple risk factors for high cholesterol, such as prior history, age, post-menopausal, or family history of heart disease, your physician may recommend a different target level based on your individual history. According to...
Third, our models did not include adjustment for triglycerides or LDL - known risk factors of CHD - as these were measured only in a subset of respondents. Fourth, fruit and vegetable intake - a covariate included in analyses - may be underestimated, as responses that measure intake of ...
Select laboratory abnormalities that worsened from baseline in more than 15% of patients who received nadofaragene firadenovec were increased glucose (all grade, 38%; grade 3 or 4, 6%), increased triglycerides (30%; 1.9%), increased creatinine (17%; 0%), decreased phosphate ...
A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is a variation in the DNA sequence that results from the alteration of a single nucleotide in the genome. Atorvastatin is used to treat hypercholesterolemia. It belongs to a class of drugs called statins, which lowe
The results were:significantly lowered blood pressure, significant weight loss, significantly lowered blood sugar, significantly increased blood flow, lowered cholesterol, and lowered triglycerides. These results were published in theJournal of the American College of Cardiologyin 2001. ...
For triglycerides (TG) < 175 mg/dL, the four LDL-C equations yielded similarly accurate results, but for TG between 175 and 800 mg/dL, the S-LDL-C equation when compared to the BQ method had a lower mean absolute difference (mg/dL) (MAD = 10.66) than F-LDL-C (MAD = 13.09), ...
Yet, it lowered triglycerides (TG) and TC/HDL ratio, increased the protective HDL levels, and a CHO-restricted diet with high fats had effects on atherogenic biomarkers that are contradictory to other conventional beliefs [91]. For a good view of the effects of KD on CV biomarkers, studies...
Consistent with the lipolytic effect of IL-6, inhibition of IL-6R using tocilizumab in RA patients leads frequently to weight gain and dyslipidemia by increasing the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides and therefore potentially increasing CVR [38,39]. Ligation of IL-6R and trans-signaling of...
