The current dietary treatment of long-chain fatty acid oxidation defects (high carbohydrate with medium-even-chain triglycerides and reduced amounts of long-chain fats) fails, in many cases, to prevent cardiomyopathy, rhabdomyolysis, and muscle weakness. We hypothesized that the apparent defect in
Exercise induced rhabdomyolysis is a complication of long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCHAD) and mitochondrial trifunctional protein (TFP) deficiency that frequently leads to exercise avoidance. Dietary therapy for most subjects includes medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) supplementation but
Dietary modification with medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) supplementation is one crucial way of treating children with long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders. Recently, supplementation prior to exercise has been reported to prevent muscular pain and rhabdomyolysis. Systematic studies to determine
To evaluate the potential dose effect of rosuvastatin on triglyceride (TG) levels in Japanese hypertriglyceridemic patients, we randomized 154 patients with TG levels of >or=200 and <800 mg/dL to 8 weeks of treatment with rosuvastatin 5, 10 or 20mg once daily; bezafibrate 200mg twice daily; or
BACKGROUND
Since the withdrawal of cerivastatin, statin-fibrate combination therapy has been questioned in China due to safety concern. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of fenofibrate as an add-on in patients with dyslipidemia despite receiving statin
Triglyceride (TG) synthesis, storage, and degradation together constitute cytoplasmic TG metabolism (CTGM). CTGM is mostly studied in adipocytes, where starting from glycerol-3-phosphate and fatty acyl (FA)-coenzyme A (CoA), TGs are synthesized then stored in cytoplasmic lipid droplets. TG
Hypertriglyceridemia is a common metabolic disorder in patients with chronic renal failure. Fibrate derivatives are often used for lipid lowering in this population with adjusted dosage. However, fibrate-related adverse reaction still occasionally occurs. The authors report a case of end-stage renal
BACKGROUND
Elevated total cholesterol (total-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels are established risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) are effective cholesterol-lowering drugs that are commonly prescribed to treat this condition.
BACKGROUND
Triglycerides can accumulate in injured tissues, a process thought to represent flux of excess, cytotoxic, free fatty acids into nontoxic triglyceride storage pools. However, this view may be overly simplistic, given that multiple pathways may impact triglyceride levels. This study sought
While elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol is the primary target of hypercholesterolemia treatment, high triglycerides and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol are also important targets for therapy. Correcting these lipid abnormalities should be an integral part of therapy in
Pitavastatin is the newest member of the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor family and is approved as adjunctive therapy to diet to reduce elevated levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, apolipoprotein (Apo) B, and triglycerides and to increase levels of high-density
Observational reports suggest that supplementation that increases citric acid cycle intermediates via anaplerosis may have therapeutic advantages over traditional medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) treatment of long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders (LC-FAODs) but controlled trials have not been
Lipin 1 regulates glycerolipid homeostasis by acting as a phosphatidic acid phosphohydrolase (PAP) enzyme in the triglyceride-synthesis pathway and by regulating transcription factor activity. Mutations in human lipin 1 are a common cause of recurrent rhabdomyolysis in children. Mice with
Statins and fibrates are both effective in the treatment of hyperlipidaemias but are not recommended in combination because episodes of rhabdomyolysis have followed combined lovastatin-gemfibrozil therapy. We assessed treatment with dual bezafibrate-simvastatin therapy in routine clinical practice.
TREATMENT OF ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION - Blood pressure (BP) should be regularly measured in all patients with CKD (Strength of Recommendation C). - BP control and proteinuria reduction delay progression of CKD (Strength of Recommendation A) and reduce cardiovascular risk (Strength of Recommendation C).
