hypercholesterolemia: Encyclopedia II - Fibrate - Uses

Fibrates are used as accessory therapy in many forms of hypercholesterolemia, usually in combination with statins. Trials do support its use as monotherapy. Although less effective in lowering LDL, fibrates improve HDL and triglyceride levels, and seem to improve insulin resistance when the dyslipidemia is associated with other features of Syndrome X (hypertension and diabetes mellitus type 2). ...

hypercholesterolemia: Encyclopedia - Scandinavian Simvastatin Survival Study

The Scandinavian Simvastatin Survival Study (also known under the abbreviation 4S) is a multicenter clinical trial that was performed in 1990s in Scandinavia. The objective of the study was to assess effect of cholesterol-lowering drug called simvastatin on mortality and morbidity in group of 4444 patients with coronary heart disease, aged between 35 and 70 years. The patients presented with moderate hypercholesterolemia between 5.5 and 8.0 mmol/l. The results of the trial showed that treatment of patients with simvastatin patients sufferi ...

hypercholesterolemia: Encyclopedia - Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a steroid, a lipid, and an alcohol, found in the cell membranes of all body tissues, and transported in the blood plasma of all animals. Most cholesterol is not dietary in origin, it is synthesized internally. Cholesterol is present in higher concentrations in tissues which either produce more or have more densely-packed membranes, for example, the liver, spinal cord, brain and atheroma. Cholesterol plays a central role in many biochemical processes, but is best known for the association of cardiovascular disease with v ...

hypercholesterolemia: Encyclopedia - Bile acid sequestrant

In pharmacology, bile acid sequestrants are a group of medications used for binding bile in the gastrointestinal tract, used for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and the prevention of pruritus (itch) in patients with chronic liver disease or diarrhea. Two drugs are members of this class; both are synthetic resins: Cholestyramine (Questran®) Colestipol (Colestid®) Use of these agents has decreased markedly since the introduction of statins. They are occasionally used as an adjunctive to ...

hypercholesterolemia: Encyclopedia - Cholestyramine

Cholestyramine (Questran®, Questran Light®, Cholybar®) is a bile acid sequestrant, which binds bile in the gastrointestinal tract to prevent its reabsorption. It increases removal of bile acids from body by forming insoluble complexes in intestine, which are then excreted in feces. As body loses bile acids, it converts cholesterol from blood to bile acid, thus lowering serum cholesterol. It is primarily used to treat hypercholesterolemia, but can also used to treat the pruritus, or itching, that often occurs during liver fa ...

hypercholesterolemia: Encyclopedia II - Fibrate - Pharmacology

Although used clinically since the early 1970s, the mechanism of action of fibrates remained unelucidated until, in the 1990s, it was discovered that fibrates activate PPAR (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors), especially PPARα. The PPARs are a class of intracellular receptors that modulate carbohydrate, fat metabolism and adipose tissue differentiation. Activation of PPARs causes transcription of a number of genes on the DNA that facilitate lipid metabolism. Fibrates are structurally and pharmacologically related to the thiazolidinediones, a novel class of anti-diabetic drugs that also ...

hypercholesterolemia: Encyclopedia - Combined hyperlipidemia

In medicine, combined hyperlipidemia (or -aemia) is a commonly occurring form of hypercholesterolemia (elevated cholesterol levels) characterised by increased LDL and triglyceride concentrations, often accompanied by decreased HDL. On lipoprotein electrophoresis (a test now rarely performed) is shows as a hyperlipoproteinemia type IIB. The elevated triglyceride levels (>5 mmol/l) are generally due to an increase in VLDL (very low density lipoprotein), ...

hypercholesterolemia: Encyclopedia II - Fibrate - Side-effects

Most fibrates can cause mild stomach upset and myopathy (muscle pain with CPK elevations). In combination with statin drugs, fibrates cause an increased risk of rhabdomyolysis (idiosyncratic destruction of muscle tissue, leading to renal failure). A powerful statin drug, cerivastatin (Lipobay®), was withdrawn because of this complication. The less lipophilic statins are less prone to cause this reaction, and are pro ...

hypercholesterolemia: Encyclopedia II - Transient ischemic attack - Causes

The most common cause of a TIA is an embolus (a small blood clot) that occludes an artery in the brain. This most frequently arises from an atherosclerotic plaque in one of the carotid arteries or from a thrombus in the heart due to atrial fibrillation. Other reasons include excessive narrowing of large vessels due to an atherosclerotic plaque and increased blood viscosity due to some blood diseases. TIA is related with other medical conditions like hypertension, heart disease (especially atrial fibrillation), migraine, cigarette s ...

hypercholesterolemia: Encyclopedia II - Myocardial infarction - Pathophysiology

Myocardial infarction - Ischemia and infarction. The underlying mechanism of a heart attack is the destruction of heart muscle cells due to a lack of oxygen. If these cells are not supplied with sufficient oxygen by the coronary arteries to meet their metabolic demands, they die by a process called infarction. The decrease in blood supply has the following consequences: Heart muscle which has lost blood flow long enough, e.g. 10-15 minutes, dies (necrosis) and does not grow back. A collagen sc ...

hypercholesterolemia: Encyclopedia II - Synthetic language - Forms of synthesis

There are several ways in which a language can exhibit synthetic characteristics: Synthetic language - Derivational synthesis. In derivational synthesis, morphemes of different types (nouns, verbs, affixes, etc.) are joined to create new words. For example: German: Luftkissenfahrzeug "air-cushion-travel-machine" = "hovercraft" Greek: υπερχοληστερολαιμία "overmuch/high-cholesterol-blood" = "hypercholesterolemia" Japanese: teishaekiSee also:

hypercholesterolemia: Encyclopedia II - Simvastatin - Rationing

Since its introduction, there has been a large debate surrounding the price for lipid-lowering treatment and its benefits on atherosclerosis. Although this has affected the other statins as well, simvastatin was the first statin drug to be used extensively in clinical practice. A number of large epidemiological studies were conducted to discover which patients would benefit most from statin drugs; most studies involve simvastatin as the study drug. The most influential studies were the Scandinavian Simvastatin Survival Study ( ...

There have been a number of clinical studies, with both human and animal subjects, on the effects of policosanol and on its major component, octanosol. They have found that it can lower cholesterol, act as an anticoagulant, and inhibit atherosclerosis. In one recent double-blind study, patients with high LDL-cholesterol received daily doses of either 10 mg policosanol , 20 mg lovastatin, or 10 mg simvastatin for eight weeks. LDL-cholesterol was reduced by 24% in the policosanol groups, 22% in the lovastatin group and 15% in the simvas ...

The glomeruli of the kidneys are the parts that normally filter the blood. They consist of capillaries that are fenestrated (leaky, due to little holes called fenestrae or windows) and that allow fluid, salts, and other small solutes to flow through, but normally not proteins. In nephrotic syndrome, the glomeruli become damaged due to diabetes, glomerulonephritis, or even prolonged hypertension (high blood pressure) so that small proteins, such ...

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) is the sulfated version of DHEA, - this conversion is reversibly catalyzed by sulfotransferase (SULT2A1) primarily in the adrenals, the liver, and small instestines. In blood, most DHEA is found as DHEAS with levels that are about 300 times higher than free DHEA. Orally ingested DHEA is converted to its sulfate when passing through intestines and liver. While DHEA levels reach their peak in the early morning hours, DHEAS levels show no diurnal variation. DHEAS is biologically active only after its su ...
