A diet rich in black soya beans could help control weight, lower fat and cholesterol levels, and aid in the prevention of diabetes, reports Lisa Richards in Chemistry & Industry, the magazine of the SCI. view more (2007-02-26)
Free-radical busting antioxidants might not promote healthy hearts
Antioxidants, such as beta-carotene and Vitamin E, have been touted for their ability to protect against heart disease. This protective effect is attributed to their ability to prevent the oxidation of bad cholesterol by free radicals-a process thought to contribute to the build-up of disease-causing fatty deposits on artery walls. view more (2006-04-10)
New genes present drug targets for managing cholesterol and glucose levels
Scientists have identified 12 new genes that are somewhat strange bedfellows: Some link gallstones and blood cholesterol levels, others link melatonin and sleep patterns to small increases in glucose levels and larger jumps in the risk of diabetes. view more (2008-12-08)
Screening families with a history of high cholesterol is most cost effective way to cut heart deaths
Screening relatives of people with high cholesterol levels is the most cost effective way to reduce deaths from coronary heart disease, yet no recommended screening strategy currently exists in the United Kingdom , according to researchers in this week's BMJ. High cholesterol which runs in families is known as familial hypercholesterolaemia. About... view more... (2002-05-28)
Study suggests statins reduce cardiovascular risk for people with type 2 diabetes (p 641, 685)
Results of a randomised trial in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that people with type 2 diabetes could benefit from cholesterol-lowering therapy with statins to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease-even when they do not have high cholesterol concentrations. Many recent studies have shown the benefits of statin therapy to reduce the... view more... (2004-08-18)
More women than men having mid-life stroke

Potential atherosclerosis drug exhibits no harmful side-effects in liver
Researchers have developed and tested a synthetic atherosclerosis drug that can reduce the build-up of dangerous blood vessel plaques without producing the side-effect of fatty liver disease (which leads to its own set of problems like diabetes). The encouraging results of this study in mice could lead to a new type of drug to treat or even... view more... (2009-02-13)
Strength training combined with a low energy diet best for obese kids
A low energy diet combined with strength training seems the best way of tackling childhood obesity, shows research in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. view more (2002-05-20)
LDL particle measurement by NMR recognized by ADA, ACC
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the American College of Cardiology (ACC) issued a consensus statement today that states the measurement of LDL particle number by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is one of the more accurate ways to evaluate cardiometabolic risk (CMR). view more (2008-03-31)
The Protein Srebp2 Drives Cholesterol Formation in Prion-Infected Neuronal Cells Which May Promote Prion-Dependent Diseases
The regulating protein Srebp2 drives cholesterol formation, which prions need for their propagation, in prion-infected neuronal cells. view more (2009-11-19)
Cholesterol metabolism links early- and late-onset Alzheimer's disease
Although the causes of Alzheimer's disease are not completely understood, amyloid-beta (A-beta) is widely considered a likely culprit - the "sticky" protein clumps into plaques thought to harm brain cells. view more (2007-10-05)
Do high dietary intakes of trans fats really promote cardiovascular disease?
From his assessment of the studies, Dr John Stanley says the conclusion that trans fatty acids promote cardiovascular disease is premature for the following reasons. First, although prospective cohort studies show an association with cardiovascular disease, trans fatty acids are estimated rather than measured. They may also be markers for some... view more...

Low-carbohydrate diets appear effective, but may raise cholesterol levels
A synthesis of data from five previous clinical trials suggests that both low-fat and low-carbohydrate diets appear to be effective for weight loss up to one year, but low-carbohydrate diets may be linked to higher overall and LDL or "bad" cholesterol levels. view more (2006-02-14)
Researchers isolate new risk marker for overweight children
A study of 40 overweight children in Edmonton has revealed they all share something in common aside from being heavy: each one of them has high levels of apoB48, a structural protein found in intestinal cholesterol. view more (2007-06-25)
Genetic faults in heart enzyme increase risk of heart attack and stroke
Genetic faults, which produce an excess of a powerful enzyme, increase the risk of coronary artery disease and consequently, a heart attack, shows research in Heart. But the faulty genes do not speed up artery narrowing, the cause of acute coronary artery disease, the research shows. Over 850 men with stable coronary artery disease in their 50s... view more...

Adding ezetimibe to atorvastatin improves lipid control
Adding ezetimibe to atorvastatin significantly boosted the attainment of lipid targets as specified by both Canadian and European guidelines in elderly patients aged 65 and older and the combination produced superior results than simply increasing the dose of atorvastatin alone. view more (2009-10-27)
