Researchers study how pistachios may improve heart health
Going green may be heart healthy if the green you choose is pistachio nuts, according to researchers at Penn State who conducted the first study to investigate the way pistachios lower cholesterol. view more (2008-09-29)
Scientists associate 6 new genetic variants with heart disease risk factor
Using new techniques for rapidly scanning the human genome, researchers have associated levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, two fats in the blood, to 18 genetic variants, six of which represent new DNA regions never before associated with the traits. view more (2008-01-14)
MSU researcher links cholesterol crystals to cardiovascular attacks
For the first time ever, a Michigan State University researcher has shown cholesterol crystals can disrupt plaque in a patient's cardiovascular system, causing a heart attack or stroke. view more (2009-03-27)
Carrot cake study on sugar in type 2 diabetes
Patients with type 2 diabetes are often advised to cut out sucrose (table sugar) all together. However, in recent years this traditional advice has been questioned by some researchers who suggest that moderate amounts of sugar can be safely consumed as part of the diet of patients with diabetes. view more (2008-01-09)
Cholesterol-lowering drugs may be useful in an influenza pandemic
Recent concerns about the possibility of a serious influenza pandemic have spurred many countries to start stockpiling vaccines and antiviral agents. view more (2006-06-14)
Unique new scoring system can predict risk of death from cardiovascular disease
A unique new scoring system for assessing a patient's risk of death from cardiovascular disease is revealed in this week's BMJ. The score will help physicians determine a patient's need for drugs to reduce blood pressure (antihypertensive drugs) and other strategies for improving cardiovascular health. The score is based on information from eight... view more... (2001-07-11)
New research finds that cholesterol busting statins also reduce blood pressure
A new study led by researchers at Warwick Medical School at the University of Warwick reveals that patients using cholesterol busting statins get a bonus benefit from such drugs as the Warwick researchers have now found that statins also have a positive effect on blood pressure levels. view more (2007-03-09)
A low-cholesterol diet leaves a bitter taste in the gut
One role for the proteins on the tongue that sense bitter tasting substances, type 2 taste receptors (T2Rs), is to limit ingestion of these substances, as a large number of natural bitter compounds are known to be toxic. view more (2008-10-10)
Popular statin reduces recurrent stroke risk
In people who have experienced a stroke, but who have no known history of coronary heart disease, beginning regular treatment with the cholesterol-lowering drug atorvastatin soon after the stroke can reduce the risk of recurrent stroke by 16 percent. view more (2006-08-10)
Study identifies glucose 'sensor' that plays dual role in glucose metabolism and fat synthesis
In the study, glucose is shown to stimulate the activity of the Liver X Receptors (LXR) a and b, The LXRs act as sensors of dietary components, orchestrating the body's response to nutrients such as oxysterols (short-lived derivatives of cholesterol) and controlling gene expression linked to cholesterol and fat metabolism. view more (2006-12-27)
Drug combo may reduce protease inhibitor-related hardening of the arteries
Physiologists may have found a way to decrease the risk of hardening of the arteries that accompanies the long-term use of protease inhibitors, a class of drugs that has emerged as the most effective treatment against HIV and AIDS. view more (2006-09-05)
Mayo discovers link between Huntington's and abnormal cholesterol levels in brain
Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered a protein interaction that may explain how the deadly Huntington's disease affects the brain. view more (2006-12-04)
Early end to key study on benefits of niacin, a B vitamin, in keeping arteries open was premature
Heart experts at Johns Hopkins are calling premature the early halt of a study by researchers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and Washington Hospital Center on the benefits of combining extended-release niacin, a B vitamin, with cholesterol-lowering statin medications to prevent blood vessel narrowing. view more (2009-11-16)
Mapping the genetic locus for triglycerides
Researchers have mapped out a region on human chromosome 1 that contributes to genetically elevated blood triglyceride levels, a major risk factor for heart disease. view more (2008-04-28)
International study launched testing new drug combination to cut cardiovascular disease
A major international study to test whether a new combination treatment that increases good "HDL" cholesterol prevents heart attacks and strokes will start to recruit patients later this year, it was announced today (Wednesday 31 May). view more (2006-05-31)
Athletes not spared from health risks of metabolic syndrome
College-age football players who gain weight to add power to their blocks and tackles might also be setting themselves up for diabetes and heart disease later in life, a new study suggests. Nearly half of a sample of collegiate offensive and defensive linemen who underwent a battery of tests for the study had metabolic syndrome. view more (2009-01-14)
High-Fat Diets Inflame Fat Tissue Around Blood Vessels, Contribute to Heart Disease
A study by researchers at the University of Cincinnati shows that high-fat diets, even if consumed for a short amount of time, can inflame fat tissue surrounding blood vessels, possibly contributing to cardiovascular disease. view more (2009-02-19)
UCLA study links air pollution to clogged arteries
Got high cholesterol? You might want to stay away from air pollution. That's the message of a new UCLA study linking diesel exhaust to atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, which significantly increases one's risk for heart attack and stroke. view more (2007-07-26)
MSU researcher studies ties between cholesterol drugs, muscle problems
A Michigan State University researcher is studying whether the most popular class of cholesterol-lowering drugs may cause muscle problems in users. view more (2008-11-12)
Previously approved drugs may be helpful in fatal pediatric disorder
A progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is often fatal within the first two decades of life may be treatable via a molecule already targeted by approved drugs. view more (2006-08-29)
