it’s equally important to increase levels of beneficial HDL cholesterol. In a 2012 study, ALE was shown to do just that. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of 92 overweight subjects, researchers found that supplementation with 250 mg of ALE twice daily for 8 we...
Cells were treated with 1 μM ABL001, 100 nM Simvastatin, or combination of ABL001 and Simvastatin for 1 week. Cells were then fixed with methanol and stained with crystal violet. Images were taken using an Epson scanner. 1 mL of 10% acetic acid was added per well and a plate reader ...
The cells were then rinsed twice in PBS and resuspended in 600 μL of SolA [10 mM HEPES (pH 7.9), 0.5 % NP-40, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 10 mM KCl, and 0.5 mM DTT] by pipetting. After a short spin, the pellets were resuspended in SolB [20 mM HEPES (pH 7.9), 25 % glycerol, 0.5 % ...
New research shows that the most widely prescribed type of drug in the history of medicine is a waste of money. One major study found that the more ‘bad’ cholesterol was lowered, the greater the risk of heart attacks and strokes. In the midst of the Co
Serum lipid and lipoprotein levels are being determined twice for each phase in a CDC/NHLBI lipid standardized laboratory. Unexpectedly, not only did serum lipids not rise with cholesterol intakes up to 1000 mg/day, but LDL-C was reduced 10% (p<0.003) and HDL-C increased 7% (p<0.002) ...
On no statins, 50,000 units of vitamin D2 was given twice/week for 3 weeks, and was then continued once/week. After 3 weeks on vitamin D supplementation, statins were restarted, and patients were re-assessed after 3 months on statins while continuing vitamin D supplementation. At 3 months...
screening visit) were randomized to the following 24-weeks treatment groups; placebo (n=108), twice-daily K-877 0.2 mg/day (n=150) and 0.2/0.4 mg/day [patients took 0.2 mg/day, those with TG >150 mg/dL at week 8 were uptitrated to 0.4 mg/day from week 12] (n=165 [n=58])...
Patients in the observation group received PCSK9 inhibitor elozumab (Repatha) 140 mg, subcutaneously injected twice a week. The levels of inflammatory factors, cardiac function indexes, clinical effectiveness rate, adverse events, and complications were compared before and after treatment. After 1 ...
