Vitamin A in Hypercholesterolemia

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1992
This study evaluated the relationship between plasma vitamin A and cholesterol in 48 patients with hypercholesterolemia studied before and after treatment with a cholesterol-lowering diet, with or without lipid-lowering medication. Plasma vitamin A levels were higher in hypercholesterolemic subjects than in healthy controls (2.58 +/- 0.15 vs.

Hyperinsulinemia in patients with hypercholesterolemia

Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1992
An independent association between hypercholesterolemia and high insulin levels has not consistently emerged from large-scale epidemiologic observations. We selected 39 patients with elevated low-density (LDL) cholesterol levels but normal body weight, blood pressure, and glucose tolerance, and compared them to 36 normocholesterolemic, healthy control ...

MANAGEMENT OF HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA

Cardiology Clinics, 2000
Benefit from the treatment of hyperlipidemia has now been conclusively documented, and this article has focused on the clinical trial data supporting diet and drug therapy in adult patients with different lipoprotein disorders and discussed therapeutic approaches with a focus on reducing plasma concentrations of LDL cholesterol. National guidelines for

Familial hypercholesterolemia

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2002
Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia is a common, severe form of elevated plasma, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Familial hypercholesterolemia is under-recognized and under-treated despite well-known benefits from available lipid-lowering medications.

Management of Hypercholesterolemia in Children

Pediatric Drugs, 2014
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death and morbidity in our society. One of the major risk factors for CVD is hypercholesterolemia. Hypercholesterolemia in children can be caused by a hereditary disorder or can be secondary to other diseases or drugs.

Therapy of hypercholesterolemia

The American Journal of Digestive Diseases, 1964
animals suggest that atherosclerosis may be reversed to some extent. Patients with high levels of serum cholesterol, and probably also those with elevated serum triglycerides, are in a high-risk group relative to the development of atherosclerotic heart disease and myocardial infarction.
