OBJECTIVE to evaluate the relation between patient adherence and therapeutic effectiveness of hypolipidemic agents in clinical practice. METHODS A retrospective cohort study of 417 patients using hypolipidemic drugs (simvastatin, atorvastatin) between 2003 and 2010 was performed. The population studied consists of patients assisted by the Public Health Service in the far-west region of the St...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES To compare two equations for evaluating coronary risk, the Framingham-Wilson equation and the Framingham equation adjusted for the Spanish population (REGICOR), in a group of dyslipidemic patients in our healthcare area. In addition, the therapeutic implications of using the 2 methods were also evaluated. PATIENTS AND METHOD The study included 815 dyslipidemic pati...

To investigate the importance of factors influencing the fatty acid composition, lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in the rat, the effect of 3-thia fatty acids of chain-length ranging from octyl- to hexadecylthioacetic acid were studied. In liver, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), and low density lipoprotein (LDL), the hypolipidemic 3-thia fatty acids, namely C12-S-acetic acid to C14-S-acetic...

In this study, a novel polysaccharide, LPP, was obtained from Lonicera caerulea L. pomace by ultrasonic-assisted heating and purified Sephadex G-100. The structural characteristics of LPP showed that the molecular weight (Mw) 8.53 × 104 Da; it mainly composed galacturonic acid, followed galactose; possessed characteristic functional groups polysaccharides; had an absence O-glycosidic bonds crys...

Current knowledge regarding the origin of microbodies, their function in cell metabolism, the manner in which they are destroyed or disposed of by the cell, and their responses to pathological conditions is limited, but emerging information concerning their chemical composition (1, 2), the structure and content of their nucleoid (1, 3-5), and their possible relationship to other cell organelles...

objectives: diabetes mellitusmanifests itself in a wide variety of complications and the symptoms of this disease are multifactorial. previousstudies proved that this disease is directly related to hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. the aim of this study was to investigate the hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects of hydroalcoholic extract of prangos frulacea (l.)lindlin alloxan-induced diabeti...

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of freeze dried extract of Sida rhomboidea.roxb leaves (FESR) on alteration in lipid and cholesterol metabolism in high fat diet induced hyperlipidemia in experimental rats. Plasma and hepatic lipid profiles, lipid and cholesterol metabolizing enzymes in target tissues and fecal total lipids and bile acid contents were evaluated in FESR ...
