High triglycerides, other cholesterol raise risk of stroke
People with high triglycerides and another type of cholesterol tested but not usually evaluated as part of a person's risk assessment have an increased risk of a certain type of stroke. view more (2007-12-27)
APOLIPOPROTEINS COULD BE BETTER PREDICTOR OF HEART ATTACK THAN CHOLESTEROL (pp 2012, 2026)
Measurement of lipid components called apolipoproteins could be a better indicator of heart-attack risk than conventional cholesterol assessment, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Hypercholesterolaemia, especially high concentrations of LDL-cholesterol, is one of the strongest risk factors for atherosclerotic... view more... (2001-12-12)
Fructose-sweetened drinks increase nonfasting triglycerides in obese adults
Obese people who drink fructose-sweetened beverages with their meals have an increased rise of triglycerides following the meal, according to new research from the Monell Center. view more (2009-02-13)
Insulin resistance in early teens may predict diabetes, heart disease for adults
The body's decreased response to insulin beginning as early as age 13 may mean increased cardiovascular disease risk by age 19, according to research reported in Hypertension: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2006-08-22)
New approach discovered to lowering triglycerides
Studies done with laboratory rats suggest that supplementation of their diet with lipoic acid had a significant effect in lowering triglycerides, which along with cholesterol levels and blood pressure are one of the key risk factors in cardiovascular disease. view more (2009-03-31)
UCLA identifies new molecule involved in the body's processing of dietary fat
UCLA investigators have identified a new molecule that may help regulate the delivery of fats to cells for energy and storage. view more (2007-04-04)
Acne medication associated with abnormal blood test results
Elevated cholesterol levels and liver enzyme levels appear to be more common than previously thought among patients taking the acne medication isoretinoin, including those who had normal blood test results before beginning therapy. view more (2006-08-22)
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)
Sugars in liver found to clear fats from the bloodstream
Maybe you ate a big, juicy steak for dinner last night, adding a large amount of fat - scientifically known as triglycerides - to your system. For one in ten of us, that could be a big problem. view more (2007-01-03)
Researchers find that eating high levels of fructose impairs memory in rats
Researchers at Georgia State University have found that diets high in fructose - a type of sugar found in most processed foods and beverages - impaired the spatial memory of adult rats. view more (2009-07-17)
Triglycerides implicated in diabetes nerve loss
A common blood test for triglycerides - a well-known cardiovascular disease risk factor - may also for the first time allow doctors to predict which patients with diabetes are more likely to develop the serious, common complication of neuropathy. view more (2009-05-19)
Unexpected finding of molecule's dual role in mice may open new avenue to cholesterol reduction
Researchers have discovered an unknown regulator of fat and cholesterol production in the liver of mice, a significant finding that could lead to new therapies for lowering unhealthy blood levels of cholesterol and fats. view more (2008-06-13)
Low HDL cholesterol from gene variation not associated with increased risk of ischemic heart disease
Lower levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol due to a gene mutation is not associated with an increased risk of ischemic heart disease, according to a study in the June 4 issue of JAMA. view more (2008-06-04)
Study finds possible connection between marijuana abuse and stroke or heart attacks
Long-term harmful effects of marijuana (MJ) include risk for heart attacks and strokes in addition to impaired learning and memory. The active chemical in MJ called delta-9-tetrahyrdocannabinol (THC) is believed to exert these effects by binding to cannabinoid (CB) receptors located on several cell types in various organs. view more (2008-05-13)
Gene linked to rare disease activates fat breakdown
A gene earlier linked to a rare disease plays a critical role in the body's "finely tuned balance" of fat storage and break down, new evidence reported in the May Cell Metabolism reveals. view more (2006-05-10)
Unfavourable blood fat levels predict rheumatoid arthritis up to 10 years later
An unfavourable ratio of blood fats could herald the development of the inflammatory joint disease rheumatoid arthritis up to 10 years later, suggests research published ahead of print in the Annals of Rheumatic Diseases. view more (2006-06-05)
Article analyzes relationship of apolipoprotein E genotypes with lipid levels and coronary risk
An analysis of previously published studies suggests that there are approximately linear relationships of apolipoprotein E genotypes with lipid levels and with coronary risk view more (2007-09-19)
Researchers find that screening children for heart disease risk helps to identify parents at risk
Screening children for risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease can help identify parents at risk for the condition, providing an opportunity for medical intervention in both children and their parents, according to research at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC. view more (2006-12-06)
UCSD study clarifies insulin's role in blocking release of energy in patients with type II diabetes
Chronically high levels of insulin, as is found in many people with obesity and Type II diabetes, may block specific hormones that trigger energy release into the body. view more (2005-09-23)
Soy protein reduces effects of diabetes on liver
A group of researchers from Mexico has discovered that a diet rich in soy protein may alleviate fatty liver, a disease which often accompanies diabetes. view more (2005-09-07)
