Article Synopsis
  • The use of drugs to lower LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) has significantly decreased the risk of heart disease, but some cardiovascular risk remains.
  • Elevated triglycerides (TGs) and TG-rich lipoproteins are linked to increased cardiovascular risk, highlighting the need to address these factors.
  • New treatments targeting apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III), which plays a crucial role in TG metabolism, show promise in further reducing triglyceride levels and associated heart disease risk.

Background: Huazhuo Tiaozhi granule (HTG) is a herbal medicine formula widely used in clinical practice for hypolipidaemic effects. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying dyslipidaemia treatment have not been well elucidated.

Results: A significant reduction in the levels of total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was observed in the serum of patients with dyslipidaemia after HTG treatment, without disruption in the levels of aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), urea nitrogen (BUN), and creatinine (Cr).

Hypercholesterolaemia is a significant risk factor for developing vascular disease and fatty liver. Pineapple (), a tropical fruit widely cultivated in Asia, is reported to exhibit antioxidant and cholesterol-lowering activity; however, the potential hypolipidaemic mechanisms of pineapple fruit remain unknown. Therefore, we aimed to identify the anti-hypercholesterolaemic mechanism of pineapple fruit and to study the effect of pineapple fruit intake on hypercholesterolaemia-induced vascular dysfunction and liver steatosis in a high-cholesterol diet (HCD)-fed rats.

Dietary modification plays a vital role in the treatment of non-alcoholic liver diseases. We investigated the effects of the consumption of a different amount of dehulled adlay, which has hypolipidaemic and anti-inflammatory properties, on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We fed rats a high-fat-high-fructose liquid diet for 16 weeks to induce NAFLD.
