[VIRTUAL] Optimal Utilisation of Statins in Real-World Settings () - May 18, 2020 - Abstract #ADA2020ADA_2361; In the population between 40 and 75, a majority were on low-intensity statins with relatively very few progressing to moderate and high-intensity statin. The low uptake of statins and low dose use indicates the need to increase awareness of appropriate patient selection and correct dose of statin use in the clinic population including referral and tertiary care clinics.

Review, Journal: Treatment with inhaled corticosteroids in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. (Pubmed Central) - May 14, 2020 Studies comparing the effect and safety of other ICSs such as fluticasone furoate and beclomethasone are too few to draw firm conclusions from...The indication of using ICS in COPD is stronger if the patient has increased blood eosinophils levels. There are data indicating that the choice of ICS matters, with studies showing a better effect-safety profile with budesonide compared to fluticasone propionate whereas it is not possible to make benefit-risk comparisons between the other licensed ICSs.

First report of post‐transplant autoimmune hyperlipidaemia and treatment with rituximab () - May 14, 2020 - Abstract #BSH2020BSH_100; Our case is the first reported case of such an autoimmune phenomenon post‐allograft. Further work is required to elucidate the frequency of such autoimmune phenomenon in the transplant population.

Journal: PPARα suppresses Th17 cell differentiation through IL-6/STAT3 /RORγt pathway in experimental autoimmune myocarditis. (Pubmed Central) - May 11, 2020 Importantly, in vivo activation of PPARα ameliorates EAM by suppressing Th17 cell differentiation through reducing the expression of RORγt and phosphorylated STAT3 that are upregulated in EAM hearts. These results imply that PPARα suppresses Th17 cell differentiation through IL-6/STAT3/RORγt signaling pathway and suggest that PPARα may become a molecular target for treating autoimmune myocarditis.

(Pubmed Central) - May 8, 2020 Potential toxicities related to insulin, heparin and fenofibrate combination treatment including hypoglycemia, hemorrhage, rise in creatine kinase levels, hepato - and nephrotoxicity were not observed. In this trial involving patients with SH, our data suggest that insulin, heparin and fenofibrate combination therapy was safe and effective.

Preclinical, Journal: Red cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.) extract reverses lipid oxidative stress in rats. (Pubmed Central) - May 1, 2020 Herein, we investigated the effect of red cabbage aqueous extract (RC) or fenofibrate (FF) in oxidative stress induced by Triton WR-1339 in rats...The TBARS and PC levels increased in the liver, cerebral cortex and hippocampus of hyperlipidemic rats were decreased by the treatments with RC or FF. These findings demonstrated that RC is a potential therapy to treat diseases not only involving dyslipidemic condition but also oxidative stress.

In terms of lipid-lowering medication, statins improve EF in subjects with DM, while data from short-term trials suggest that fenofibrate improves EF; ezetimibe also improves EF but further studies are required in people with DM...Clopidogrel improves EF, but more studies in subjects with DM are required...Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors improve endothelial function locally in the corpus cavernosum. Finally, cilostazol exerts favorable effect on EF, nevertheless, more data in people with DM are required.

Clinical, Review, Journal: Pharmacology, toxicology and clinical safety of glycopyrrolate. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 14, 2020 More recently, topical formulations of glycopyrrolate (GPB, also known as glycopyrronium bromide) have gained interest as a treatment option for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)...The information on the nonclinical and clinical safety profile of glycopyrronium supporting various therapeutically approved uses has been obtained from published literature, our own data as well as summary documents issued by regulatory bodies. Collectively, these data support the conclusion that the benefits of glycopyrronium generally outweigh the risks in chronic use indications that require muscarinic receptor antagonism to provide therapeutic effects.

Taken together, our study demonstrates that formononetin ameliorates hepatic cholestasis by upregulating expression of SIRT1 and activating PPARα, which is an important anti-cholestatic mechanism of formononetin.

Journal: Simultaneous co-assembly of fenofibrate and ketoprofen peptide for the dual-targeted treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). (Pubmed Central) - Apr 3, 2020 The multiple genetic "hits" on top of the classical APOE E2/E2 genotype likely explain the more severe dyslipidemia and refractory clinical phenotype. We have developed a co-assembled nanosystem based on fenofibrate and ketoprofen by tactfully utilizing their simultaneous benzophenone interaction, which greatly enhances the bioavailability of fenofibrate and plays a role in the dual-targeted treatment of NAFLD by reducing hepatic lipid accumulation and inflammatory responses.

Asparaginase Induced Severe Hypertriglyceridemia Requiring Multiple Plasmapheresis Sessions (ENDOExpo) - Apr 1, 2020 - Abstract #ENDO2020ENDO_3803; This side effect may be explained by multiple mechanisms including increased synthesis of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), decreased LPL activity as a result of an increase in the apoCIII/apoCII ratio, and increase in serum chylomicrons. Studies have shown patients who had extreme HTG had a higher frequency of ApoE3/4 phenotype, suggesting that screening for ApoE polymorphism may identify patients at high risk for developing this.

(Pubmed Central) - Mar 22, 2020 Wistar rats (n = 48) were randomly divided into six groups: (1) normal diet rats (ND), (2) high-fat diet- (HFD-) treated rats, (3) HFD+fenofibrate-treated rats (HFD+FNB), (4) HFD+low dose of HAS-treated rats (HFD+LD, 9 mg/kg), (5) HFD+middle dose of HAS-treated rats (HFD+MD, 18 mg/kg), and (6) HFD+high dose of HAS-treated rats (HFD+HD, 36 mg/kg)...Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting indicated that HAS stimulation increased the levels of PPARγ and APOE in the liver, as a stress response of the body defense system. These results revealed that HAS exerts antiobesity and hypolipidemic activities in HFD rats by reducing liver oxidative stress and thus could be considered as a potential candidate drug to cure or prevent obesity and hyperlipidemia.

(Pubmed Central) - Mar 19, 2020 Fenofibrate, an agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα), has shown therapeutic effects on DR in both patients and diabetic animal models...These findings suggest that PPARα is an endogenous regulator of ECFC/CAC metabolism and cell fate. Diabetes-induced down-regulation of PPARα contributes to ECFC/CAC deficiency and retinal vascular degeneration in DR.
