Colonic Microbiota Profile Characterization of the Responsiveness to Dietary Fibre Treatment in Hypercholesterolemia - PubMed

Colonic Microbiota Profile Characterization of the Responsiveness to Dietary Fibre Treatment in Hypercholesterolemia - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35276884/

This study aimed to determine how the microbiota profile might be predisposed to a better response in blood lipid profiles due to dietary fibre supplementation. A three-arm intervention study that...



Conclusion: It was concluded that the non-responsiveness to dietary fibre treatment might be mediated by the lack of ability to maintain a stable SCFA producing bacteria diversity and composition after extra fibre intake.

Comparative efficacy of non-statin lipid-lowering therapies in patients with hypercholesterolemia at increased cardiovascular risk: a network meta-analysis - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35262430/

This study provides insight regarding the comparative efficacy of drugs for which no head-to-head trials exist and suggests that inclisiran, alirocumab, and evolocumab are expected to provide similar clinically meaningful...



Conclusions: This study provides insight regarding the comparative efficacy of drugs for which no head-to-head trials exist and suggests that inclisiran, alirocumab, and evolocumab are expected to provide similar clinically meaningful improvements in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in patients with hypercholesterolemia on maximally...

Efficacy and Safety of PCSK9 Monoclonal Antibodies in Patients With Diabetes - PubMed

Efficacy and Safety of PCSK9 Monoclonal Antibodies in Patients With Diabetes - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35246337/

doi: 10.1016/j.clinthera.2021.12.005. Online ahead of print. 1 Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, College of Pharmacy, University of Sulaimani, Sulaimani, Federal Region of Kurdistan, Iraq. 2 Cardiovascular Trials Unit, Manchester University...



Implications: PCSK9monoclonal antibodies markedly reduce LDL-C and consistently reduce cardiovascular mortality in patients with and without diabetes. Current evidence does not suggest an adverse effect of PCSK9 monoclonal antibodies on glycemic parameters.
