Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To assess the effect of insulin resistance and the benefit of the fibrate, gemfibrozil, on the incidence of major cardiovascular events in subjects with low HDL cholesterol and a broad range of triglyceride values who participated in the Veterans Affairs High Density Lipoprotein Intervention Trial (VA-HIT)."5.10Insulin resistance and cardiovascular events with low HDL cholesterol: the Veterans Affairs HDL Intervention Trial (VA-HIT). ( Anderson, JW; Collins, D; Elam, MB; Faas, FH; Robins, SJ; Rubins, HB; Schaefer, EJ, 2003)
" Of all the medications currently available, the fibric acid derivatives have a cholesterol lowering profile that is most likely to be effective in obese children with the high TG/low HDL phenotype and data from a recently published study of gemfibrozil in children with metabolic syndrome are promising."4.89Challenges in the pharmacologic management of obesity and secondary dyslipidemia in children and adolescents. ( Jellerson, KD; Kennedy, MJ; Snow, MZ; Zacchetti, ML, 2013)
"Gemfibrozil treatment was associated with 3% to 6% decreases in the small, lipid-poor prebeta-1 HDL and in the large, lipid-rich alpha-1 and alpha-2 HDL and with increases in the small alpha-3 (3%) and prealpha-3 (16%) HDLs."2.73Relation of gemfibrozil treatment and high-density lipoprotein subpopulation profile with cardiovascular events in the Veterans Affairs High-Density Lipoprotein Intervention Trial. ( Asztalos, BF; Bloomfield, HE; Collins, D; Horvath, KV; Robins, SJ; Schaefer, EJ, 2008)
"Gemfibrozil is a lipid-modifying agent that belongs to the fibric acid derivative class."2.53Gemfibrozil in Combination with Statins-Is It Really Contraindicated? ( Morris, PB; Saseen, JJ; Wiggins, BS, 2016)
"Identification and treatment of the metabolic syndrome is of enormous public health importance because it is associated with a marked elevation in coronary heart disease risk and affects nearly 25% of adults in the United States."2.42Fibrates for treatment of the metabolic syndrome. ( Maki, KC, 2004)
" Recently, a new tablet formulation of micronised fenofibrate has become available with greater bioavailability than the older capsule formulation."2.41Micronised fenofibrate: an updated review of its clinical efficacy in the management of dyslipidaemia. ( Keating, GM; Ormrod, D, 2002)
