In this clinical trial, a minimal dose of bexarotene (Targretin, 75 mg/day) or fenretinide 5 mg/day or placebo will be added for 8 weeks to the stable ongoing antipsychotic treatment of 90 schizophrenia patients. Participants will be assessed at baseline and after 2, 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. A

Human milk is considered as the golden standard for infant formula. In human milk and infant formula lipids provide about 55% of energy for the infant and represent as such a major nutrient for the baby. The vast majority of the lipids in human milk is composed of triacylglycerols (98% of total

Different protocols have demonstrated that phytosterol intake fluctuates between 1000 to 2000 mg per day decreasing LDL by around 10%, independently of levels of blood triglycerides and HDL (high density lipoproteins) concentrations. In fact, the National Cholesterol Education Program and the

Omega-3 fatty acids (nPUFAs) have been embraced by Expert Panels and Guideline Committees of the American Heart Association as a result of randomized trials documenting reductions in cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease. The antiarrhythmic effect or a modification in the

CT-EXTRA is a randomized clinical trial that will compare a novel diagnostic strategy employing the addition of coronary MSCT angiography to exercise treadmill testing with a standard diagnostic strategy of exercise treadmill testing for the outpatient evaluation of low-intermediate risk patients

Background Patients with type 2 diabetes are generally treated with metformin and diet as first-line therapy (1). In Sweden sulphonylureas are generally recommended as the next treatment option due to their low cost and evidence for reducing diabetes complications (2). The next line of therapy

This study seeks to determine whether HIV positive patients who have suboptimal lipids and/or are not reaching specified lipid targets will benefit from the addition of a second lipid lowering drug (ezetimibe) to existing lipid lowering therapy with a statin (specifically rosuvastatin) versus

The maximum study duration was approximately 35 weeks per participant, including up to 3 weeks screening period, 24 weeks double-blind treatment period, and 8 weeks follow-up period.

A mixed meal characterized by a high quantity of carbohydrates could develop an increment in the postprandial carbohydrate oxidation. Medium chain triglycerides could be absorbed and metabolized immediately. It is plausible that its addition to a mixed meal unchains the decrement in the carbohydrate

Hypertriglyceridemia is common among HIV-infected patients receiving Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART). Although fibrates, statins, and niacin have all been used in the management of hypertriglyceridemia in HIV-infected patients, optimal control is difficult to achieve and other agents

Previous research has demonstrated that a single meal high in saturated fatty acids (SFA) and glucose can induce increases in IL-6, TNF-α and CRP in abdominally obese and diabetic subjects. As over two-thirds of the U.S. population is overweight or obese, it is important to identify foods that can

Because of the rapid aging of the global population, dementia has become a serious problem, and Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia. Population studies have shown that dietary fats influence risk and progression of age-related diseases including AD, diabetes and
