Evidence for a new pathophysiological mechanism for coronary artery disease regression: hepatic lipase-mediated changes in LDL density. (1/41)

BACKGROUND: Small, dense LDL particles are associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and predict angiographic changes in response to lipid-lowering therapy. Intensive lipid-lowering therapy in the Familial Atherosclerosis Treatment Study (FATS) resulted in significant improvement in CAD. This study examines the relationship among LDL density, hepatic lipase (HL), and CAD progression, identifying a new biological mechanism for the favorable effects of lipid-altering therapy. METHODS AND RESULTS: Eighty-eight of the subjects in FATS with documented coronary disease, apolipoprotein B levels >/=125 mg/dL, and family history of CAD were selected for this study. They were randomly assigned to receive lovastatin (40 mg/d) and colestipol (30 g/d), niacin (4 g/d) and colestipol, or conventional therapy with placebo alone or with colestipol in those with elevated LDL cholesterol levels. Plasma hepatic lipase (HL), lipoprotein lipase, and LDL density were measured when subjects were and were not receiving lipid-lowering therapy. LDL buoyancy increased with lovastatin-colestipol therapy (7.7%; P<0.01) and niacin-colestipol therapy (10.3%; P<0.01), whereas HL decreased in both groups (-14% [P<0.01] and -17% [P<0.01] with lovastatin-colestipol and niacin-colestipol, respectively). Changes in LDL buoyancy and HL activity were associated with changes in disease severity (P<0.001). In a multivariate analysis, an increase in LDL buoyancy was most strongly associated with CAD regression, accounting for 37% of the variance of change in coronary stenosis (P<0.01), followed by reduction in apolipoprotein Bl (5% of variance; P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: These studies support the hypothesis that therapy-associated changes in HL alter LDL density, which favorably influences CAD progression. This is a new and potentially clinically relevant mechanism linking lipid-altering therapy to CAD improvement.  (+info)

Role of bile acids and bile acid binding agents in patients with collagenous colitis. (2/41)

BACKGROUND: In a retrospective study bile acid malabsorption was observed in patients with collagenous colitis. AIMS: To study the occurrence of bile acid malabsorption and the effect of bile acid binders prospectively in patients with chronic diarrhoea and collagenous colitis. METHODS: Over 36 months all patients referred because of chronic diarrhoea completed a diagnostic programme, including gastroscopy with duodenal biopsy, colonoscopy with biopsies, and the (75)Se-homocholic acid taurine ((75)SeHCAT) test for bile acid malabsorption. Treatment with a bile acid binder (cholestyramine in 24, colestipol in three) was given, irrespective of the results of the (75)SeHCAT test. RESULTS: Collagenous colitis was found in 28 patients (six men, 22 women), 27 of whom had persistent symptoms and completed the programme. Four patients had had a previous cholecystectomy or a distal gastric resection. The (75)SeHCAT test was abnormal in 12/27 (44%) of the collagenous colitis patients with (75)SeHCAT values 0.5-9.7%, and normal in 15 patients (56%). Bile acid binding treatment was followed by a rapid, marked, or complete improvement in 21/27 (78%) of the collagenous colitis patients. Rapid improvement occurred in 11/12 (92%) of the patients with bile acid malabsorption compared with 10/15 (67%) of the patients with normal (75)SeHCAT tests. CONCLUSION: Bile acid malabsorption is common in patients with collagenous colitis and is probably an important pathophysiological factor. Because of a high response rate without serious side effects, bile acid binding treatment should be considered for collagenous colitis, particularly patients with bile acid malabsorption.  (+info)

Common hepatic lipase gene promoter variant determines clinical response to intensive lipid-lowering treatment. (3/41)

BACKGROUND: The common -514 C-->T polymorphism in the promoter region of the hepatic lipase (HL) gene affects HL activity. The C allele is associated with higher HL activity, more dense and atherogenic LDL, and lower HDL(2) cholesterol. Intensive lipid-lowering therapy lowers HL activity, increases LDL and HDL buoyancy, and promotes coronary artery disease (CAD) regression. We tested the hypothesis that subjects with the CC genotype and a more atherogenic lipid profile experience the greatest CAD regression from these favorable effects. METHODS AND RESULTS: Forty-nine middle-aged men with dyslipidemia and established CAD who were undergoing intensive lipid-lowering therapy were studied. Change in coronary stenosis was assessed by quantitative angiography, HL polymorphism by polymerase chain reaction amplification, HL activity by (14)C-labeled substrate, and LDL buoyancy by density-gradient ultracentrifugation. The response to lipid-lowering therapy was significantly different among subjects with different HL promoter genotypes. Subjects with the C:C genotype had the greatest decrease in HL activity (P<0.005 versus TC and TT by ANOVA) and the greatest improvement in LDL density (P<0.005) and HDL(2)-C (P<0.05) with therapy. These subjects had the greatest angiographic improvement, with 96% of them experiencing CAD regression, compared with 60% of TC and none of the TT patients (P:<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: -In middle-aged men with established CAD and dyslipidemia, the HL gene -514 C-->T polymorphism significantly predicts changes in coronary stenosis with lipid-lowering treatment that appear to involve an HL-associated effect on LDL metabolism. This study identifies a gene polymorphism that strongly influences the lipid and clinical response to lipid-lowering drugs.  (+info)

Determinants of variable response to statin treatment in patients with refractory familial hypercholesterolemia. (4/41)

Interindividual variability in low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (LDL-C) response during treatment with statins is well documented but poorly understood. To investigate potential metabolic and genetic determinants of statin responsiveness, 19 patients with refractory heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia were sequentially treated with placebo, atorvastatin (10 mg/d), bile acid sequestrant, and the 2 combined, each for 4 weeks. Levels of LDL-C, mevalonic acid (MVA), 7-alpha-OH-4-cholesten-3-one, and leukocyte LDL receptor and hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase mRNA were determined after each treatment period. Atorvastatin (10 mg/d) reduced LDL-C by an overall mean of 32.5%. Above-average responders (LDL-C -39.5%) had higher basal MVA levels (34.4+/-6.1 micromol/L) than did below-average responders (LDL-C -23.6%, P<0.02; basal MVA 26.3+/-6.1 micromol/L, P<0.01). Fewer good responders compared with the poor responders had an apolipoprotein E4 allele (3 of 11 versus 6 of 8, respectively; P<0.05). There were no baseline differences between them in 7-alpha-OH-4-cholesten-3-one, hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase mRNA, or LDL receptor mRNA, but the latter increased in the good responders on combination therapy (P<0.05). Severe mutations were not more common in poor than in good responders. We conclude that poor responders to statins have a low basal rate of cholesterol synthesis that may be secondary to a genetically determined increase in cholesterol absorption, possibly mediated by apolipoprotein E4. If so, statin responsiveness could be enhanced by reducing dietary cholesterol intake or inhibiting absorption.  (+info)

Growth hormone induces low-density lipoprotein clearance but not bile acid synthesis in humans. (5/41)

OBJECTIVE: Growth hormone (GH) induces hepatic low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors and lowers plasma cholesterol. We characterized the influence of GH treatment on plasma LDL clearance in normal humans and investigated the relative role of LDL receptor (LDLR) activity and stimulation of bile acid synthesis in subjects with different LDLR expression. METHODS AND RESULTS: Plasma clearance of autologous 125I-LDL was measured before and during 3 weeks of treatment with GH (0.1 IU/kg per day) in 9 healthy young males. Plasma LDL cholesterol was reduced by 13% and the fractional catabolic rate of LDL increased by 27%. More marked changes were seen in a patient with hypopituitarism substituted with GH (0.07 IU/kg per day) for 3 months. In a second study, GH dose-dependently reduced LDL cholesterol and increased Lp(a) levels in 3 groups of males: younger and elderly healthy subjects and heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). No effect on bile acid synthesis measured by the plasma marker 7alpha-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one was observed. In an LDLR-deficient FH homozygote, LDL cholesterol was not affected by GH. CONCLUSIONS: GH treatment reduces plasma LDL cholesterol by inducing LDL clearance. In humans, LDLR expression is a prerequisite for this effect, whereas it is not related to stimulation of bile acid synthesis.  (+info)

Hepatic mRNA levels for the LDL receptor and HMG-CoA reductase show coordinate regulation in vivo. (6/41)

A sensitive solution hybridization assay using autologous cRNA probes was developed with the aim to study the simultaneous regulation of hepatic mRNA levels, on a quantitative basis, for the LDL receptor (LDLr), HMG-CoA reductase, and cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (Cho-7-hx) in C57BL/6J mice. With the purpose to suppress and stimulate transcript levels respectively, animals received established high fat diets, cholesterol-enriched diets, and a diet supplemented with mevinolin and colestipol. One hundred nineteen animals were investigated in six separate experiments. In spite of an eightfold increase in hepatic cholesterol induced by a high fat diet, the LDLr and the HMG-CoA reductase mRNA levels were only reduced to 60-70% and 25-50% of control values, respectively. When the data from all animals were analyzed, a strong positive correlation was obtained between the mRNA levels for the LDLr and HMG-CoA reductase (r = 0.79, P less than 0.001). A significant relation remained when control animals only were analyzed (n = 42, r = 0.59, P less than 0.001). Cho-7-hx mRNA showed a regulatory pattern that differed from that of the LDLr and HMG-CoA reductase; feeding cholesterol at 1.7% and 5% but not at 0.4% elevated the mRNA levels for Cho-7-hx while the LDLr and HMG-CoA reductase mRNA levels were maximally suppressed already at 0.4% of dietary cholesterol. The results show that the mRNA levels for the LDLr and HMG-CoA reductase are regulated in parallel in the liver in vivo during various metabolic perturbations as well as at normal physiologic conditions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  (+info)

Comparison of computer- and human-derived coronary angiographic end-point measures for controlled therapy trials. (7/41)

The Cholesterol Lowering Atherosclerosis Study, a randomized angiographic clinical trial, demonstrated the beneficial effect of niacin/colestipol plus diet therapy on coronary atherosclerosis. Outcome was determined by panel-based estimates (viewed in both still and cine modes) of percent stenosis severity and change in native artery and bypass graft lesions. Computer-based quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) was also used to measure lesion and bypass graft stenosis severity and change in individual frames closely matched in orientation, opacification, and cardiac phase. Both methods jointly evaluated 350 nonoccluded lesions. The correlation between QCA and panel estimates of lesion size was 0.70 (p less than 0.0001) and for change in lesion size was 0.28 (p = 0.002). Agreement between the two methods in classifying lesion changes (i.e., regression, unchanged, or progression) occurred for 60% (210 of 350) of the lesions kappa +/- SEM = 0.20 +/- 0.05, p less than 0.001). The panel identified 442 nonoccluded lesions for which QCA stenosis measurements could not be obtained. Lesions not measurable by QCA included those with stenosis greater than 85% that could not be reliably edge tracked, segments with diffuse or ecstatic disease that had no reliable reference diameter, and segments for which matched frames could not be located. Seventy-nine lesions, the majority between 21% and 40% stenosis, were identified and measured by QCA but were not identified by the panel. This comparison study demonstrates the need to consider available angiographic measurement methods in relation to the goals of their use.  (+info)

Liver X receptor alpha interferes with SREBP1c-mediated Abcd2 expression. Novel cross-talk in gene regulation. (8/41)

The peroxisomal ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter adrenoleukodystrophy-related protein, encoded by ABCD2, displays functional redundancy with the X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy-associated protein, making ABCD2 up-regulation of therapeutic value. Cholesterol lowering activates human ABCD2 in cultured cells. To investigate in vivo regulation by sterols, we first characterized a sterol regulatory element (SRE) in the murine Abcd2 promoter that is directly bound by SRE-binding proteins (SREBPs). Intriguingly, this element overlaps with a direct repeat 4, which serves as binding site for liver X receptor (LXR)/retinoid X receptor heterodimers, suggesting novel cross-talk between SREBP and LXR/retinoid X receptor in gene regulation. Using fasting-refeeding and cholesterol loading, SREBP accessibility to the SRE/direct repeat 4 was tested. Results suggest that adipose Abcd2 is induced by SREBP1c, whereas hepatic Abcd2 expression is down-regulated by concurrent activation of LXRalpha and SREBP1c. In cell culture, SREBP1c-mediated Abcd2 induction is counteracted by ligand-activated LXRalpha. Finally, hepatic Abcd2 expression in LXRalpha,beta-deficient mice is inducible to levels vastly exceeding wild type. Together, we identify LXRalpha as negative modulator of Abcd2, acting through a novel regulatory mechanism involving overlapping SREBP and LXRalpha binding sites.  (+info)

Since colestipol hydrochloride is an anion exchange resin, it may have a strong affinity for anions other than the bile acids. In vitro studies have indicated that colestipol hydrochloride binds a number of drugs. Therefore, COLESTID Tablets may delay or reduce the absorption of concomitant oral medication. The interval between the administration of COLESTID Tablets and any other medication should be as long as possible. Patients should take other drugs at least one hour before or four hours after COLESTID Tablets to avoid impeding their absorption.. Repeated doses of colestipol hydrochloride given prior to a single dose of propranolol in human trials have been reported to decrease propranolol absorption. However, in a follow-up study in normal subjects, single-dose administration of colestipol hydrochloride and propranolol and twice-a-day administration for 5 days of both agents did not affect the extent of propranolol absorption, but had a small yet statistically significant effect on its rate ...

The treatment of high blood cholesterol is entering a new phase. As in the treatment of hypertension, several drugs with different modes of action are now available, with more under study, kindling debates about their relative benefits and costs. The rationale and evidence for appropriate treatment of patients is becoming clearer, with the National Cholesterol Education Program guidelines leading the way. We are learning to decide which patients to treat with drug therapy and why, and we should all by now be familiar with how to use the available drugs. This study looks at drug treatment from a societal perspective by analyzing the cost-effectiveness of lowering cholesterol in an attempt to help the physician include costs in decisions about treatment. To simplify this, the authors used an LDL-HDL index to estimate the reduction in coronary heart disease morbidity and mortality for each cholesterol-lowering agent, based on the findings from the Lipid Research Clinics Primary Prevention Trial, ...

The most common adverse reactions are confined to the gastrointestinal tract. To achieve minimal GI disturbance with an optimal LDL-cholesterol lowering effect, a gradual increase of dosage starting with one dose/day is recommended. Constipation is the major single complaint and at times is severe. Most instances of constipation are mild, transient, and controlled with standard treatment. Increased fluid intake and inclusion of additional dietary fiber should be the first step; a stool softener may be added if needed. Some patients require decreased dosage or discontinuation of therapy. Hemorrhoids may be aggravated.. Other, less frequent gastrointestinal complaints consist of abdominal discomfort (abdominal pain and cramping), intestinal gas, (bloating and flatulence), indigestion and heartburn, diarrhea and loose stools, and nausea and vomiting. Bleeding hemorrhoids and blood in the stool have been infrequently reported. Peptic ulceration, cholecystitis, and cholelithiasis have been rarely ...

The Cholesterol Lowering Atherosclerosis Study, a randomized, angiographic clinical trial, has demonstrated the beneficial effect of niacin/colestipol therapy on coronary and femoral atherosclerosis. The primary outcome was a panel-determined consensus score evaluating global coronary changes determined angiographically at 2 years. This article presents an evaluation of interreader agreement in independently assessing the status of native coronary arteries and overall coronary condition. Parameters include 1) identification of the presence of lesions and lesion changes; 2) estimation of lesion severity (percent stenosis) and amount of change in lesion severity; and 3) global assessment of change in coronary status. Readers independently agreed on 1) presence of lesions (82%) and change in lesions (51%); 2) percent stenosis +/- 10% (76%) and change in stenosis +/- 10% (81%); and 3) global assessment of change in coronary status within one step (96%). Results of these analyses may be useful in ...
FH is usually treated with statins.[7] Statins act by inhibiting the enzyme hydroxymethylglutaryl CoA reductase (HMG-CoA-reductase) in the liver. In response, the liver produces more LDL receptors, which remove circulating LDL from the blood. Statins effectively lower cholesterol and LDL levels, although sometimes add-on therapy with other drugs is required, such as bile acid sequestrants (cholestyramine or colestipol), nicotinic acid preparations or fibrates.[2] Control of other risk factors for cardiovascular disease is required, as risk remains somewhat elevated even when cholesterol levels are controlled. Professional guidelines recommend that the decision to treat a person with FH with statins should not be based on the usual risk prediction tools (such as those derived from the Framingham Heart Study), as they are likely to underestimate the risk of cardiovascular disease; unlike the rest of the population, FH have had high levels of cholesterol since birth, probably increasing their ...

Colestipol and Cholestyramine may decrease the absorption of indomethacin by binding to indomethacin from the intestine and preventing absorption. Indomethacin and other NSAIDs may reduce the elimination of lithium and, thus, increase the blood level. Indomethacin may interfere effects of drugs which are given to reduce blood pressure. This might happen since prostaglandins play a role in the regulation of blood pressure.. The blood levels of aminoglycoside or the methotrexate may increase, presumably because their elimination in the body is reduced when indomethacin is used in combination with methotrexate or aminoglycosides. This may lead to aminoglycoside-related or more methotrexate side effects. Indomethacin ought to be avoided by patients with a history of asthma attacks, hives or other allergic reactions to aspirin or other NSAIDs. If aspirin is taken with indomethacin there may be an increased risk for developing an ulcer.. Individuals that have more than 3 alcoholic drinks per day may ...

The rate at which plasma free cholesterol was formed from squalene during constant infusions of radioactive mevalonate increased with colestipol treatment, decreased with clofibrate treatment and decreased when cholesterol was added to the diet. The plasma squalene concentration showed corresponding changes, confirming that its measurement may qualitatively define changes in cholesterol synthesis.. 3. The mean plasma squalene concentration in seven hypertriglyceridaemic, slightly overweight subjects was significantly higher than in six hypercholesterolaemic subjects, which is consistent with other evidence for increased cholesterol synthesis in hypertriglyceridaemia. ...

Do not switch other strengths, brands, or forms of niacin with this product. Severe liver problems may occur. Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. Generally, your doctor will start you at a low dose and gradually increase your dose in order to minimize side effects. Your dose will need to be increased slowly, even if you are already taking niacin and are being switched from another niacin product (e.g., extended-release) to this product. Follow your doctors instructions carefully. If you also take certain other drugs to lower your cholesterol (bile acid-binding resins such as cholestyramine or colestipol), take niacin at least ...
To improve mood try: http://www.philips.co.uk/c/light-therapy/38702/cat/. Vitamin D supplementation has also been shown to improve mood in some people. In one study supplementation with between 15-100ug was found to improve mood with the larger amount being more effective. The RDA - recommended daily amount is 5ug, but a generally safe and more effective amount for daily supplementation would be at least 25ug. In fact a single large dose of vitamin D is normally pretty safe also. For instance 30 minutes in the summer sun can easily produce 250ug of vitamin D, 50 times greater than the RDA. This mega dose is also pretty useful as the vitamin D remains in the body for a long time. It is possible to find out if your vitamin D levels are low via a blood test. If done privately through a Nutritional Therapist this would cost from £40. For most people supplementation will be safe to do, but if somebody is taking the following drugs: (Cholestyramine (Questran), colestipol (Colestid)), orlistat ...

The bile acid sequestrants are a group of resins used to bind certain components of bile in the gastrointestinal tract. They disrupt the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids by combining with bile constituents and preventing their reabsorption from the gut. In general, they are classified as hypolipidemic agents, although they may be used for purposes other than lowering cholesterol. They are used in the treatment of chronic diarrhea due to bile acid malabsorption. Bile acid sequestrants are polymeric compounds that serve as ion-exchange resins. Bile acid sequestrants exchange anions such as chloride ions for bile acids. By doing so, they bind bile acids and sequester them from the enterohepatic circulation. The liver then produces more bile acids to replace those that have been lost. Because the body uses cholesterol to make bile acids, this reduces the amount of LDL cholesterol circulating in the blood. Bile acid sequestrants are large polymeric structures, and they are not significantly ...
Bile acids promote bile formation and facilitate dietary lipid absorption. Animal and human studies showing disturbed bile acid metabolism in diabetes mellitus suggest a link between bile acids and glucose control. Bile acids are activating ligands of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a nuclear receptor with an established role in bile acid and lipid metabolism. Evidence suggests a role for FXR also in maintenance of glucose homeostasis. Animal and human studies employing bile acid sequestrants (bile acid binding agents), which interrupt the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids and effectively reduce plasma cholesterol, support a link between bile acid and glucose metabolism. In lipid-lowering trials, bile acid sequestrants, such as colesevelam hydrochloride, colestyramine (cholestyramine) and colestilan (colestimide), have also been shown to lower plasma glucose and glycosylated haemoglobin levels, suggesting the utility of these agents as a potential therapy for type 2 diabetes. In this ...

Many studies have demonstrated that progression of atherosclerosis can be suppressed by reduction of serum cholesterol levels. In these studies, however, histopathological changes of the atherosclerotic lesions have not been sufficiently examined. Results of our study show that a reduction of serum cholesterol levels due to pravastatin treatment altered the lesional composition of atherosclerotic plaques in WHHL rabbits.. In the present study we showed that a long-term reduction of serum cholesterol levels led to the following histopathological changes in the atherosclerotic plaques: (1) a decrease in the area of macrophages plus extracellular lipid deposits, (2) an increase in collagen area, (3) a suppression of the decrease in smooth muscle cell area with lesion progress, and (4) an increase in the ratio of collagen area to the area of extracellular lipid deposits (Tables 3⇑ and 5⇑).. In recent human studies, several groups reported on acute clinical coronary events. Becker and coworkers ...

Purpose of review: Diagnostic scoring for familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) can be used either to screen for possible FH or guide the selection of patients for genetic (DNA) testing. We review the published diagnostic criteria and discuss the options for future development. Recent findings: Scoring systems have been developed internationally based on lipid values and various combinations of clinical signs and cardiovascular history. The predictive value varies according to the test population, be it lipid clinic referrals, general population, or relatives of patients with FH. Also, there is increasing recognition of genetic heterogeneity in FH so that criteria are of differing predictive value depending on the genetic variant of FH. Summary: These clinical scoring systems are increasingly used to guide selection of patients for FH genetic testing but no single approach has yet emerged as the system of choice. Further refinement of these scoring tools using more sophisticated calculators are ...
