Familial type II hyperlipoproteinemia with coronary heart disease: effect of diet-colestipol-nicotinic acid treatment.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Heterozygous familial type II hyperlipoproteinemia (F type II) is primarily manifested in hypercholesterolemia (due to low density lipoprotein-cholesterol [LDL-C] elevation) and premature coronary heart disease (CHD). We studied sequentially the effects of low cholesterol-low saturated fat-low simple carbohydrate diet; diet and colestipol, 30 g/day; and diet, colestipol, plus nicotinic acid (NA) 3 to 7 g/day on plasma cholesterol (Ch), LDL-C, triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and angiographically documented coronary arterial lesions of 32 F type II patients. Effective control of F type II resulted in arresting the progression of angiographically demonstrated coronary arterial lesions.

Use of combined diet and colestipol in long-term (7--7 1/2 years) treatment of patients with type II hyperlipoproteinemia.
Long-term effects of diet and colestipol (a bile acid sequestrant) were studied in 25 patients with familial type II hyperlipoproteinemia. Serum lipids and body weights of an initial group of 30 patients were stabilized by low cholesterol-saturated fat-refined carbohydrate diet and the patients were then randomized into placebo and drug-treatment groups. After explaining that the drug is nontox...

Carotid bifurcation atherosclerosis was demonstrated in 34 of 108 patients with familial hypercholesterolemia and coronary artery disease by B-scan, continuous-wave Doppler sonography, and intravenous digital subtraction angiography. An intensive combined therapy of diet, colestipol, and nicotinic acid was mounted to control the hypercholesterolemia of these patients. Their serial sonographies ...
متن کاملMolecular Diagnosis of Familial Hypercholesterolemia
Abstract Background and objectives: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal disorder characterized by increased levels of total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol. The FH clinical phenotype has been associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease and premature death. The mutation in LDLR gene in most cases is responsible for FH phenotype. Furthermore, other ...
متن کاملEffects of hypolipidemic therapy on cholesterol homeostasis in freshly isolated mononuclear cells from patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
Freshly isolated mononuclear leukocytes have been reported to show changes in cholesterol synthesis and high-affinity degradation of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) that parallel those that occur in the liver. To examine whether hypolipidemic therapy in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia influences cholesterol homeostasis in their mononuclear cells we assessed the effects o...
متن کاملHYPERLIPIDEMIA Normalization of plasma lipoprotein concentrations in patients
The oral administration of neomycin or niacin as single-drug therapy can significantly lower total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations in patients with type II hyperlipoproteinemia. However, in the majority of patients treated with one of these drugs as sole therapy plasma lipid and lipoprotein concentrations do not normalize. The effect of combined neomycin (2 g/day) and nia...
