To unravel the cause(s) of the FH phenotype in patients with no mutations in well-established lipid genes (LDLR, APOB, PCSK9).
The primary objective is to elucidate whether there is a difference in the outcome of health parameters between IVF children who as an embryo were cultured in two different culture media. As secondary objectives we will investigate how the health…
To assess the acute (2h) and short term (2 days and 4 week) effects of daily administration of 5g of NWT03 (an egg-protein hydrolysate) on carotid-radial Pulse Wave Velocity (cr-PWV). Secondary objectives are to assess its effects on carotid-femoral…
To evaluate the difference in the post fat load non HDL after an oral fatload between bezafibrate and placebo in patients with FD using standard lipid-lowering therapy
Incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease in familial combined hyperlipidemia
To determine: 1) the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in FCHL patients, normolipidemic relatives and their spouses2) the incidence of cardiovascular disease in FCHL patients, normolipidemic relatives and their spouses3) the prevalence of CESD…
To investigate if the active product shows a postprandial plasma triglyceride profile different from the control product in healthy adult male volunteers.
Hypertension is characterized by vascular remodelling and endothelial dysfunction. Sphingolipids such as ceramide and sphingosine-1-phosphate may play an important role in regulation of vascular contractility and tonus. In this study the altered…
To obtain human fibroblasts from extreme dyslipidemia patients or patients with premature atherosclerosis to study cholesterol metabolism.
The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the difference in TICE in FHBL-patients as compared to unaffected controls, according to the previously developed stable isotope method with minor modifications (METC 10/092). This way we can prove the…
Effects of stearidonic acid on serum triacylglycerol concentrations in overweight and obese subjects
To study the effects of echium oil, rich in SDA on serum triacylglycerol concentrations in healthy overweight and slightly obese men and women. The minor objective is to study the effects of echium oil on the omega-3 index, which is negatively…
The objective of the study is to compare the effects of homogenized, unhomogenized and skimmed milk with butter on postprandial metabolism in healthy overweight men.
The major objective of the present study is to examine the effects of dietary plant sterols and stanols on fasting serum concentrations of oxyphytosterols. The minor objective is to investigate the effects of these products on postprandial serum…
Controlling the glycemic impact of food products may reduce glycemic and insulinemic responses. This may result in a decreased inhibition of fat oxidation rate and lower plasma TAG concentration. A higher postprandial fat oxidation may result in…
Aim of this study is to acquire more insight in the relation between risk factors for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes and anthropometric measures such as BMI, waist circumference and body fat percentage and compare the results between the…
The objectives of the study are 1) whether ResvidaTM is capable of increasing mitochondrial content and function in healthy obese subject, 2) whether the ResvidaTM induced increase in mitochondrial content and function is accompanied by a better fat…
To assess the difference in efficacy of pancreatic enzymes in a self-dosage regimen after extensive patient-education in comparison to the standard treatment for patients with EPI.
The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the difference in TICE in FHBL-patients as compared to unaffected controls, according to the previously developed stable isotope method with minor modifications (METC 10/092). This way we can prove the…
To investigate the frequency and the biology of the metabolic syndrome in childhood cancer survivors in order to find risk factors for cerebro- and cardiovascular diseases and to design preventive intervention strategies in indicated risk groups
Our primary objective is to determine the effect of Salvia miltiorrhiza extract (Danshen) on hyperlipidemia, in particular LDL-cholesterol. Secondary objective is to investigate the effect of Danshen on hypertension. Further objectives are to…
The major objective of the present study is to examine the effect of consuming vitamin E (804 mg) or lipoic acid (600 mg) for 4 weeks on fasting oxyphytosterol concentrations in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance or type 2 diabetes.
