Fasting before blood lipid testing might be unnecessaryThe article discusses research on the prognostic value of fasting and non-fasting low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels on long-term mortality, referencing a study by B. Doran and colleagues published in the journal "Circulation" in 2014....
Salivary uric acid as a noninvasive biomarker of metabolic syndrome Height, weight, blood pressure and waist circumference were measured and a full lipid panel along with fasting blood glucose was obtained. Saliva samples ... M Soukup,I Biesiada,A Henderson,... - 《Diabetology & Metabolic Syndro...
Lastly, because some but not all of the studies contributing to these consortia measured blood lipids on a fasting sample, we are unable to conduct separate analyses based on genetic effects in the fasting and non-fasting state. We used cis-MR to evaluate the relevance of each drug target ...
Blood processing Non-fasting blood was collected via venipuncture from study participants into both serum-separating tubes (SST) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-containing tubes, followed by centrifugation at 2000 g for 10 min at 4 °C. Liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–...
Further the panel recommends that for a LDL-centric management, i.e. when physicians treating dyslipidemia has to keep the target of achieving LDL-C to a goal irrespective of the other lipid levels, a non-fasting measurement may prove to be equally useful as fasting measurements. This was ...
In this study, we report on adherence to medications to lower blood pressure (BP; ie, ACEIs and ARBs for hypertension and nephropathy) and lipids and describe the factors associated with adherence to BP-lowering medications in this young cohort at high risk of morbidity. Methods This cohort ...
=0.0013). Two PAVs in GTF3C5 were highly enriched in the Finnish population and associated with cardiovascular phenotypes in the general population. In the previously known APOB gene, we identified novel associations at two protein-truncating variants resulting in lower serum non-HDL cholesterol (...
Objective To compare the effect of Arotinolol and Metoprolol on blood pressure,heart rate,fasting plasma glucose and blood lipid in patients with coronary heart disease.Methods Ninety patients with coronary heart disease were enrolled consecutively.They were randomized to receive treatment with Arotinolo...
The cardiac lipid panel (CLP) is a novel panel of metabolomic biomarkers that has previously shown to improve the diagnostic and prognostic value for CHF patients. Several prognostic scores have been developed for cardiovascular disease risk, but their u
we first adjusted total cholesterol for statin use (total cholesterol divided by 0.8) before the usual calculation. If study samples were from individuals who were nonfasting, we did not include either TG or calculated LDL-C in the present analyses. The HDL-C and TG variables were natural log...
