gemfibrozil and Metabolic Syndrome

gemfibrozil has been researched along with Metabolic Syndrome in 13 studies

Metabolic Syndrome: A cluster of symptoms that are risk factors for CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES and TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS. The major components of metabolic syndrome include ABDOMINAL OBESITY; atherogenic DYSLIPIDEMIA; HYPERTENSION; HYPERGLYCEMIA; INSULIN RESISTANCE; a proinflammatory state; and a prothrombotic (THROMBOSIS) state.

"The combination of gemfibrozil, niacin and cholestyramine has profound, beneficial effects on the components of metabolic syndrome."5.15The effect of gemfibrozil, niacin and cholestyramine combination therapy on metabolic syndrome in the Armed Forces Regression Study. ( Cater, G; Devendra, GP; Krasuski, RA; Whitney, EJ, 2011)
" 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)
" Recently conducted metabolic and pharmacokinetic drug-drug interaction studies using gemfibrozil or fenofibrate in combination with five commonly used statins demonstrated a widely different drug interaction potential for these two fibrates."2.43Statin/fibrate combination in patients with metabolic syndrome or diabetes: evaluating the risks of pharmacokinetic drug interactions. ( Davidson, MH, 2006)
"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)
"The metabolic syndrome is characterized by atherogenic dyslipidemia (elevated triglycerides, increased small dense low-density lipoproteins, and decreased high-density lipoproteins), hypertension, insulin resistance and obesity."2.41Treatment of dyslipoproteinemia in the metabolic syndrome. ( Fenselau, S; Schrezenmeir, J; Steinmetz, A, 2001)
"In Ppara-null mice, MFD treatment increased body weight, adipose tissue, serum TG and impaired glucose tolerance."1.48PPARα-independent action against metabolic syndrome development by fibrates is mediated by inhibition of STAT3 signalling. ( Dai, M; Gonzalez, FJ; Hua, H; Huang, J; Lin, H; Liu, A; Liu, L; Wang, F; Xi, Y; Xu, G; Yang, J; Zhao, T, 2018)
" Previous results suggest that vascular dysfunction in OZR is associated with chronic reduction in vascular nitric-oxide (NO) bioavailability and chronic inflammation, both frequently associated with hypercholesterolemia."1.35Impact of chronic anticholesterol therapy on development of microvascular rarefaction in the metabolic syndrome. ( Frisbee, JC; Frisbee, SJ; Goodwill, AG; James, ME; Stapleton, PA, 2009)
