However, they recommend screening adults for high triglycerides as part of a fasting lipid panel.
These drugs differ in how they work and the degree and type of the lipid they lower.
After Week 26, during the safety phase of the study, adjustments to concomitant lipid-lowering treatments were allowed.

It is in this lipid membrane that the ion channels, which are made of an artificial protein called gramicidin, sit.
The Confederation of the Food and Drink Industries of the European Union, however, seems to agree with the lipid biologists.

The problem of lipid damage, they believe, is linked to hormones produced not by the pancreas, but by adipose tissue itself.
Referral to a lipid specialist is also very appropriate in such patients.
Others are attached to special lipid anchors that are fixed to the gold electrode but reach all the way up through the membrane.
Twenty kittiwake chicks were hatched in captivity and assigned randomly to four fish diets: high-volume high-lipid, high-volume low-lipid, low-volume high-lipid, and low-volume low-lipid.

Yet another problem the lipid biologists have is with the amount of long-chain omega-3s that the EFSA has recommended it is desirable to consume.

James Howard, director of the Lipid Clinic at MedStar Washington Hospital Center in Washington, DC, says the new changes are a real step forward.
And he is working with Nissen to see if a medical device made by Lipid Sciences can clean the primates' pipes by increasing good cholesterol.
Physicians usually prescribe a drug based on the underlying lipid abnormality.
Also unclear, according to Prediman K. Shah, a lipid expert at Cedars Sinai Hospital, is whether the drug will reverse plaque build-up as Esperion's drug did.
These study results are quite remarkable and unexpected and will be one of the top CV stories of 2011, much as AIM-HIGH rocked the lipid community.

According to a VG Energy press release, the technique increased production of extractable lipid, or fat, by at least 300 percent when applied in the lab.
FORBES: Biofuel From Algae Could Compete With Oil, Report Says
Regulus recently published some very intriguing data with miR-21 in cancer and fibrosis models (the subject of their earlier deal with Sanofi), as well as miR-33 in lipid biology.
FORBES: Two (Micro) Reasons to be Excited About RNA Therapeutics
The conventional route to biodiesel consists of extracting oil from plants and converting it to the methyl esters of fatty acids that are present in the lipid-components, known as triglycerides.
Dr Iacopino said high cholesterol, or lipid, levels, rather than the way the body deals with glucose, was the risk factor for people who are already diabetic developing periodontal disease.
To investigate what impact a forced switch to a low-lipid regime might have on the development of red-legged kittiwakes, the Kitaysky lab designed experiments to explore the effects of various diets.

The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center trial enrolled 51 patients age 12 to 53 years, including 7 patients age 12 to 16 years, who were maintaining a regimen of maximally-tolerated lipid lowering medications.

The scientists found a way to chemically remove the lipid fats that normally make brain tissue opaque, in effect turning any postmortem brain specimen into a picture window that reveals its internal structure.

But the right circumstances depend on what is happening in the lipid layers because, by itself, a single gramicidin channel is not long enough to span the membrane and thus let any sodium ions through.
Sometimes the challenge is to match a Piccolo application to a medical specialty--oncologists, say, who need lots of lab work before administering chemotherapy, or cardiologists, who might buy a machine for its quick lipid readings.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Kynamro (mipomersen sodium) injection as an addition to lipid-lowering medications and diet to treat patients with a rare type of high cholesterol called homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH).

Hospital employees as well as their dependents repeatedly had lower compliance rates for preventive screening for cancers- colorectal, breast, and cervical- as well as lower rates for cholesterol and lipid testing compared to the general workforce.
FORBES: Are Hospital Employees Less Healthy than other U.S. Workers?
It is not every day that an international consortium of concerned lipid scientists gets upset, but just such a group, rallied by Jack Winkler of the Nutrition Policy Unit at London Metropolitan University, is on the warpath.
