Phosphatidylinositol increases HDL-C levels in humans.
Studies have shown that phosphatidylinositol (PI) can stimulate reverse cholesterol transport by enhancing the flux of cholesterol into HDL and by promoting the transport of high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) to the liver and bile. The goal of this study was to determine the safety and therapeutic value of PI after oral administration to normolipidemic human subjects. We performed a r...
متن کاملXuezhikang Therapy Increases miR-33 Expression in Patients with Low HDL-C Levels
BACKGROUND MicroRNA-33a and -b (miR-33a/b) have been revealed to be posttranscriptional regulators of HDL metabolism. Xuezhikang (XZK) is a marked natural HDL-raising polypill. We aim to evaluate the effects of XZK on the expression of circulating miR-33a/b in patients with low plasma HDL-C levels. METHODS A total of 42 participating patients with low baseline levels of HDL cholesterol were a...
متن کاملLosartan increases bradykinin levels in hypertensive humans.
BACKGROUND Studies in animals and humans indicate a role for kinins in the actions of angiotensin type 1 (AT1) receptor blockers. However, the effect of these compounds on kinin levels in humans is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS We measured angiotensin (Ang), bradykinin (BK), and kallidin peptides in subjects with essential hypertension administered placebo, losartan (50 mg OD), and eprosartan ...
متن کاملTumor necrosis factor increases serum leptin levels in humans.
Leptin is a pleiotropic hormone believed to regulate body weight. Its function in wasting during inflammatory disease in humans is unknown. We studied the effect of repeated tumor necrosis factor (TNF) infusion on serum leptin levels in six patients with solid tumors. TNF infusion on day 1 resulted in an increase in serum leptin levels from 3.1 (SEM +/- 0.28) ng/mL to 5.2 (SEM +/- 0.6) ng/mL af...
متن کاملInsulin-mediated increases in the HDL cholesterol/cholesterol ratio in humans.
The role of insulin in the regulation of lipoprotein cholesterol distribution was studied in 18 human volunteers who were of normal weight, normolipemic, and glucose-tolerant. We used the euglycemic clamp technique and made comparisons with six saline-infused controls. While total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels fell similarly by 6 hours in both groups (p = NS), there...
