چکیده

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 niacin (3 g/day) treatment on the plasma lipoprotein concentrations was determined in 25 type II hyperlipoproteinemic patients in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover clinical trial. Treatment with neomycin was well tolerated by all 25 study patients and significantly reduced total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations by 23% and 29%, respectively (p less than .05). In contrast to the well-tolerated neomycin regimen, 11 patients (44%) were unable to continue niacin treatment because of adverse side effects. In the 14 patients treated with both neomycin and niacin, niacin further lowered the concentrations of total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol by 18% and 25%, respectively, and increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol by 32% (p less than .05) compared with that in the patients receiving neomycin plus niacin placebo. Compared with diet-only therapy, combined treatment with neomycin plus niacin reduced the total plasma cholesterol concentration by 36%, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol by 45%, and the low-density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein ratio by 46% and it increased plasma high-density lipoprotein concentrations by 24% (p less than .001). During the study, 80% of all the study patients and 92% of the patients who complied with the combined regimen normalized their total and low-density lipoprotein concentrations.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

بررسی میزان لیپوپروتئین – آ در پلاسمای مبتلایان به دیابت نوع II

Introduction: Lipoprotein (a) is a particle rich in cholesterol in human plasma and it is known as an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease. In addition to genetic background, other factors such as diabetes affect the plasma concentration of this lipoprotein as a risk factor. The aim of this study was evaluation and comparison of plasma concentration of Lp(a) in type II diabetics ...

A unique kindred with premature cardiovascular disease, tuboeruptive xanthomas, and type III hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP) associated with familial apolipoprotein (apo) E deficiency was examined. Homozygotes (n = 4) had marked increases in cholesterol-rich very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL), which could be effectively lowered with diet and medication (...

Familial type II hyperlipoproteinemia with coronary heart disease: effect of diet-colestipol-nicotinic acid treatment.

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...

Impact of combined exercise training on plasma concentration of Apelin, resistin and insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetics’ male

ABSTRACT Introduction: Apelin and resistin as novel adipokines have insulin-sensitizing effects, which may be associated with decreased blood glucose concentration. In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of combined exercise training on plasma concentrations of apelin, resistin and insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetics male (T2D). Methods: In a quasi-...
