Simvastatin
Simvastatin
Introduction
Simvastatin is used to lower the cholesterol level in the blood such as the low–density lipoprotein
(LDL) and triglycerides and to raise the high–density lipoprotein (HDL), It decreases the risk of
heart diseases and helps to prevent the heart attacks and strokes by reducing the amount of
cholesterol that is made by the liver (Raleys.com, 2015). Chemical structure and functional groups
Simvastatin is one of the statins derivatives that is synthesised from a fermentation product of
Aspergillus terreus. The simvastatin is an inactive lactone which is hydrolysed to the β–hydroxyacid
form when it is taken orally. β–hydroxyacid form is an inhibitor of 3–hydroxy–3–methylglutaryl–
coenzyme A(HMG–CoA) reductase. This enzyme ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The mode of action
Statins are competitive inhibitors HMG–CoA reductase, it has been considered as a first line for the
treatment of hypercholesterolemia. Their mode of action is by mimicking the substrate molecule
HMG–CoA and competes for binding to the HMGCR enzyme. It works by slowing the production
rate of mevalonate which responsible for the production of cholesterol molecule.
Most of the cholesterol synthesis in the body is done by internal mechanism through the liver cells
particularly at night during fasting; it is taken at night to inhibit the cholesterol production. It
maximizes its inhibitory effect and the data shows a significant fall in the LDL and a fall in the total
cholesterol level in the blood.
Simvastatin can have different pharmacological effects from other statins groups due to different
ring structures and chemical side groups such as different affinity toward the receptors, different
rates of connection to liver cells from non–liver cells, different bioavailability and biochemical
metabolism and execration. All these factors affect its half–life which is short (Anon, 2015).
Statins are selective towards the hepatic cells because of their lipophilic properties. It passes through

High Blood Cholesterol
Introduction
High blood cholesterol is not only a major risk factor for cardiovascular heart diseases, but also for
conditions such as stroke and heart attack. Cholesterol consists of two types lipoprotein, low–
density lipoproteins, which are commonly known as the "bad cholesterol" that narrows arteries, and
high–density lipoproteins seen as the "good cholesterol". There are many determinants that
contribute to high blood cholesterol, for instance, environmental influences, genetic factors, existing
illnesses and so on. However, this literature review will primarily focus on controllable risk factors.
Amongst the numerous controllable risk factors, this review will zoom into the three main factors,

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Lipoprotein
Cholesterol
It is an important lipid found in the blood (Kanakavalli et al., 2014). Cholesterol is a vital substance
produced by the body and is also ingested from animal–derived foods. It can either be good or bad.
At normal levels, it is essential in the body but if levels get too high then it may cause us harm
(MacGill, 2015). Cholesterol allows the body to produce vitamin D, which promotes calcium
absorption in the gut and it also maintains serum calcium and phosphate concentrations for normal
mineralization of bone (Food and Nutrition Board, 2010).

Strawberries and Obesity
To the Editor, It is quite noticeable that obesity rates in the United States are continually rising.
When a person is obese, they have an increase risk to diseases such as type–2 diabetes, heart
disease, various cancers, etc. (Haslam & James 2005). There are countless studies conducted to see
the possible effects obesity can cause to an individual. One study concluded, if two obese
individuals have a child, that child has a high percentage of being obese as well (Kolata 2007).
Although there are different methods to help individuals lose weight, there are different reasons for
people not to lose the excess weight. The most common responses for individual's not to lose weight
are, "I don't have time to go to the gym," "Workout DVD's are expensive," and "Healthy and fresh
foods are too expensive for me to buy." Nevertheless, if there was only one fruit that could possibly
help any individual's health dilemma(s), that fruit should be strawberries. Studying the effects of
what strawberries can do to an individual's health is a relatively new study. Nonetheless, there was a
study conducted in Oklahoma, to examine the effects strawberries had on women who were obese
and women who were healthy (Basu et al 2009). For four–weeks, the study was preformed; the
researchers had the women drink strawberry flavonoids equivalent to amount of fresh fruit serving

1: What are Estrogen and Progesterone?
Estrogen and Progesterone are a steroid hormone that are derived from Cholesterol.
Estrogen and progesterone are what regulate the menstrual cycle, puberty and development of breast
tissue and characteristics of male and female, development of the uterus and genitals and lastly
preparing the uterus for pregnancy (1)
For Progesterone to be formed there are a few steps that occur first.
Firstly, CYPIIAI removes the 6–sided carbon chain from Cholesterol (C22–C27). This process
produces the steroid Pregnenolone (C21). This is an intermediate steroid. It is still an important step

Testosterone still have the same number of carbon atoms (21) as progesterone and aldosterone. This
is where testosterone differs slightly. Estrogen is derived from testosterone.
Testosterone, after being converted to pregnenolone via CYPIIAI. 17α–hydroxysteroid converts to
testosterone and 3β–HSD (3β–hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase) and CYP17 converts to
androstenedione. (2) CYP19 the aromatase enzyme is expressed by the Sertoli cells. This then
transforms a small amount of testosterone into estadiol–17β (estrogen). Also, giving it the aromatic

It 's miles typically concept of as correct LDL cholesterol so better HDL levels are taken into
consideration an amazing signal. LDL debris carry greater cholesterol made within the liver out to
the relaxation of the cells within the frame. We used to think of LDL as awful LDL cholesterol so
lower levels of LDL have been considered an excellent signal.
The LDL cholesterol inside of HDL and LDL particles is precisely the identical, it's just that, for the
maximum part, HDL is wearing it in one path and LDL is sporting it in the opposite route. The
reason why LDL were dubbed horrific and HDL has been dubbed excellent is that numerous
epidemiological studies most famously, the Framingham heart study told us that excessive LDL
levels had been related to a better chance of heart assault, and that high HDL levels have been
related to a lower risk of heart assault.
We used to suppose that HDL changed into desirable as it acted like a rubbish truck, clearing evil

Different Types Of Cholesterol Levels
Reading all of this might be a little bit difficult to understand however, if you do not know of the
different types of cholesterol. The two main types, as found on WebMD, are "low–density
lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), also known as the "bad" cholesterol, and high–density lipoprotein
cholesterol (HDL), also called "good" cholesterol" ("Understanding Cholesterol Numbers"). The
weird factor about running is that while it does reduce the levels of LDL, it increases the levels of
HDL. The American Heart Association considers HDL to be the "good cholesterol" because it "may
protect you from heart disease by transporting cholesterol out of your arteries" (Cavazos 1). This

Running can also help the population of patients with heart disease by helping to improve their
oxygen intake. As found in an article written by Jonathan Myers, it was stated that "As one's ability
to transport and use oxygen improves, regular daily activities can be performed with less fatigue.
This is particularly important for patients with cardiovascular disease, whose exercise capacity is
typically lower than that of healthy individuals" (1). So not only can running help reduce the
chances of accumulating heart disease over the years, but it can also help certain patients who
unfortunately already have coronary heart disease (CHD). It may be surprising to hear, but the way
running effects your physical body system, also leads to affecting the brain. The amount of oxygen
your body produces can improve the amount of oxygen and minerals your brain consumes. This
leads into the next benefit of running. Running not only has physical health benefits, as listed above,
but is also known for having psychological benefits. One of the most commonly known benefits is
the "runners high". This is a happy and energizing sensation that some runners feel once they get
done with a run. The reason this occurs is as described in an article by Keith Hillman as "through
the production of certain hormones associated with feeling good. Running will help you to produce

Raisio Group and the Benecol Launch Case Analysis Essay
Raisio Group and the Benecol Launch Case Analysis
Park University
Benecol was launched in 1955 by the company Raisio in Finland ("Benecol," 2010). Benecol has
become a successful additive to multiple product lines due to its unique ingredient of plant stanol
ester. The ingredient has been proven to reduce cholesterol levels and can easily be added to any
food (Grant, 2010). Raisio, up until 1997, produced much of the plant stanol it needed and was self–
sufficient in its exploitation of stanol ester technology (Grant, 2010). Raisio then made the decision
to become part of Johnson & Johnson in order to gain global marketing, manufacturing, and

Their success was based on its innovation to create technology to extract and produce the main
ingredient in Benecol. By using a differentiation advantage which singled them out in a very
specific market (foods that lower cholesterol) they were able to put plans in place to guarantee the
success of the product. By merging with J&J, they create a large market for their product with
multiple distribution capabilities. Because differentiation is only affected when consumers are made
aware, Benecol was marketed widely to lower cholesterol and most people know it now as a "health
food" (Grant, 2010). The process of innovation and competition is also very important in the
position that Benecol is in its life cycle. The product began with short production runs, with limited
specialized distribution channels in 1996. It then emerged into the growth stage of its life cycle
when it partnered with J& J to create multiple product lines, mass production, and competition for
distribution. Benecol seems to be in its Maturity stage at the present time, allowing for long
production runs, and distributors carrying fewer lines, due to economy and less demand for high end
food products (Grant, 2010). Because there are only a handful of companies that can create products
with plant stanol ester, Benecol is a leader in its innovation for the technology. Benecol is also very
well diversified, and it continues to create products that

The Effects Of Dyslipidemia On The Body
Dyslipidemia is characterized by increased total cholesterol levels, low–density lipoprotein–
cholesterol levels (LDL–C), triglyceride levels (TG), and low high–density lipoprotein–cholesterol
levels (HDL–C) (1). Most of the cholesterols in the body (60–70%) are transported to liver cells in
the form of LDL–C through direct interaction with specific LDL receptors (1). Dietary intake of
foods that are high in cholesterol and saturated fats (such as egg yolk, butter, fast food) activates a
feedback mechanism which lowers the activity of LDL receptors. As a consequence, LDLs are no

involves giving patients the same doses that were shown to produce clinical benefits in trials
regardless of how much LDL–C reduction was achieved (1, 2). Using this approach, lipid

FH can either be homozygous or heterozygous, homozygous being more rigorously affected than

of white blood cells in the artery walls, thickening it over time. Individuals with two defective
copies develop this disease at an early age which usually leads to death. It is always thought that FH
is caused by the mutations of the LDL receptor proteins. There are currently more than 800 different
mutations for the LDLR that cause FH (Soutar & Naoumova, 2007). The most common types of
mutations are premature stop codons, mutations in the promoter and pre–mRNA, and amino acid
substitutions. Individuals with autosomal recessive hypercholesterolemia have the same phenotype

Literature Review Of Royal Jelly
REVIEW OF LITERATURE Royal jelly (RJ) is a honeybee product secreted from the
hypopharyngeal and mandibular glands of the worker honeybees. It contains a mixture of very
important compounds that give it therapeutic and nutritional properties. These compounds as
protein, glucose, lipid, vitamins, minerals, aspartic acid, gelatin, sterols, phosphorous compounds,
acetylcholine, nucleic acids, and numerous trace ingredients. The ingredients are in the form of
water, crude protein and monosaccharides. The remainder of the royal jelly is composed of an
ether–soluble fraction of fatty acid (Galaly et al., 2014).
Royal jelly is a viscous jelly substance which is partially soluble in water with a density of 1.1 g/
ml. Its colour is whitish to yellow, the yellow color increases upon storage. Its odor is pungent, the
taste being sour and sweet. Old RJ, which stored for long time tends to be darker and possess a
rancid taste. For optimum quality, RJ should be stored in frozen state. According to water content,
the viscosity of RJ varies and it slowly becomes more viscous when stored at room temperature or
in a refrigerator at 5ºC. The viscosity of RJ increases with increment of water insoluble nitrogenous
compounds and a reduction in soluble nitrogen and free amino acids (Ramadan and Al–Ghamdi,

The Discovery Of The Pharmacological Class
However, the discovery of the pharmacological class, Statins of which Lipitor and Compound X
belongs, which inhibits HMG CoA reductase, an enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of HMG
CoA to mevalonic acid, an early and rate limiting step in the biosynthesis of cholesterol, has greatly
improved the management of patients of patients with hyperlipidemia (Bertolini et.al.1997).
Lipitor a Statin drug, acts by inhibiting HMG–CoA reductase and are used as adjunct therapy to diet
to reduce the risk of MI, stroke, revascularization procedures, angina , non–fatal MI, fatal and non–
fatal stroke, hospitalization for CHF, reduce elevated total –C, apo B, and TG levels, increase HDL–
C in adult patients with primary hyperlipidemia and mixed dyslipidemia, reduce total –C and LDL–
C in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia and reduce elevated total –C and apo
B levels in boys and postmenarchal girls 10–17 years of age with heterozygous familial
hypercholesterolemia after failing an adequate trial of diet therapy. (Lipitor. 2012)
Lipitor is available in dose strengths ranging from 10mg to 80 mg with the recommended start dose
being 10 to 20 mg once daily. Patients who require large LDL–C reductions are recommended to
start at 40 mg once daily. Pediatric starting dose should be 10 mg daily with a maximum

I will now tell you a little about your results and explain what your results mean for your health.
You may feel free to ask any questions to gain clarification of anything that you may not understand.
First I will discuss your Triglyceride level results, I want to explain to you exactly what triglycerides
are before giving you your personal result. Triglycerides are a type of fat (lipid) found in your
blood. Whenever you eat something your body automatically turns any calories it feels is
unnecessary for you to have into triglycerides.
The triglycerides are then stored in your fat cells, and later on the hormones in your body will set
free triglycerides to be used as energy for you in between your meals. Your triglyceride level result
is 145 mg/dl which is good. A normal triglyceride level is considered to be Less than 150 milligrams

Natural Ways to Reduce Cholesterol
Are you asking yourself what is cholesterol because your Doctor has told you that you need to
reduce your cholesterol levels in the blood.
What is Cholesterol
Are you now confused you by his/her talking about "good and bad cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and
LDL cholesterol? Then fear not. You are certainly not alone.
Numerous times I have been approached in my practice by individuals asking me, What is
cholesterol?" or "What is HDL and LDL cholesterol all about?"
To my amazement, many are under the impression that cholesterol is bad but it is not as simple as
that. Not all cholesterols are made equal. Not all cholesterol is bad.
What is Cholesterol?
Сholesterol is an important substance created by our bodies in order to optimize our well–being.
While the body is able to create this substance, we also receive cholesterol from some of the foods
that we elect to consume.
Generally, cholesterol is beneficial to the health. This is referred to as "Good Cholesterol".
Then, there is a type of cholesterol that is referred to as "Bad Cholesterol" and may impact our
health in a negative manner. The good type of cholesterol is called "HDL Cholesterol" and the bad
type is referred to as "LDL Cholesterol".
I feel it is important for everyone to understand what is cholesterol and the impact that it has on the

(Zile & Brutsaert 2002), (Laing et al., 2003), (Drury et al., 2011), (Forbes & Cooper 2013). Many
factors play a role in development of CVD in diabetes as dyslipidemia, poor glycemic control that

Informative Speech On Red Wine
Red wine is a type of alcoholic beverage that is made out of dark–coloured grapes. There are diverse
varieties of wine like Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Madiran and much more. The colour of red
wine can range from violet to brown. There is an estimated total of 100 countries that have wineries.
One of which is the oldest known winery in Armenia, a country near Georgia, Turkey and Iraq. You
might think that red wine is inadequate as it can get you intoxicated, which can then lead to
accidents, this is partially false. Firstly, you need to know how much to drink per day, secondly, how
and why red wine can alleviate your health and well–being and lastly, data and statistics that have
been collected from around the globe. There's a difference between getting intoxicated and having a
beneficial amount. According to many online sources, the recommended healthy daily intake of red
wine is approximately 150 millilitres. To be more specific, 1–1.5 glasses for women and 1–2 glasses
for men per day. Remember that other alcohol consumed adds up to your total daily intake. They
also recommended for those who do this to have at least 1–2 days without consuming alcohol per
week. Having this much wine per day is called moderate or regular consumption. However, there
are some hazardous problems if you have a vast quantity of red wine or any kind of alcohol over the

The Food And Drug Administration
In 2000, the US Food and Drug Administration issued a health claim which states that consuming
foods containing plant sterol and stanol esters along with other low cholesterol and saturated fat
foods can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease (Jones, Vanstone, Raeini–Sarjaz, & St–Onge,
2003). Today, many functional foods in the form of margarines, spread, yogurt, and others, have
been enriched with phytosterols and advocated as being able to reduce the risk of coronary heart
disease. Phytosterols have been known for its cholesterol–lowering effect by blocking absorption of
cholesterol in the intestines. However, there are controversies surrounding the efficacy of
phytosetrol that are enriched in foods in reducing cholesterol levels. Many studies have also
demonstrated the efficacy of phytosterol–enriched foods. Vásquez–Trespalacios and Romero–
Palacio (2014) and Amundsen, Ose, Nenseter, and Ntanios (2002) have demonstrated the efficacy of
phytosterol–enriched foods in reducing total and LDL–cholesterol levels. However, there are also
many studies that show otherwise. For example, Jones et al. (2003) and Weingärtner et al. (2016)
have shown that phytosterol–supplemented foods did not have any effect on total and LDL–

The Modern High Fat Diet
The modern high fat diet commonly referred to as a ketogenic diet can be achieved in a manner not
unlike a normal carbohydrate diet. Where roasts and salmon and vegetables are not just a normal
part of the diet but essential. Though it is dangerous to start a ketogenic diet without a little bit of
research. This is due to many essential nutrients that we normally source through plants such as
wheat, potatoes, rice, and corn, which are extremely high in carbohydrate. With these foods being
too high in carbohydrates to be a significant portion of one's diet when on a ketogenic diet, one must
search for alternatives. Spinach, avocado, and Swiss chard for instance is a very good source of
potassium, magnesium, and fiber. Let us break this down. Potassium is essential for maintaining a
regular heartbeat. Magnesium is used to make proteins and regulate nerve function. Both
magnesium and potassium deficiency can cause the development of psychological conditions.
Finally fiber helps the body keep itself clean. Though one may find that despite many excellent
alternative sources of required nutrients, the foods that one could prepare may seem very foreign to
what one has known. It is important to know that lacking any of these materials can result in serious

Taking a Look at Lipoproteins
Lipoproteins are multicomponent assemblies of lipids and proteins that form distinct molecules with
an approximate stoichiometric value between the lipid and protein components within the complex.
Lipoproteins exist with many types each with a specific molecular mass, size, density, physiological
role, and chemical composition.(devlin,57) The lipids and their derivatives may be covalently or
non–covalently bound to the proteins. Lipoproteins show biodiversity in their forms, many
enzymes, antigens, toxins, structural proteins, transporters, emulsification agents in lipid uptake, and
adhesins are lipoproteins with an important network that supports the transportation of fats in blood
stream and inside and outside of cell, as building blocks using cholesterol to offer a great help in
maintaining the water content of the cell by building membranes, and keeping the internal structure
organized. Examples include High density lipoproteins and low density lipoproteins which help in
fats relocation, and their associated diseases like Atherosclerosis. Another group of diseases is

This may be a difficult feat to undertake. More people are working longer hours, and it may seem as
though there is never enough time to do everything that needs to be done. On top of this, there are
ample fast food restaurants available with 24 hour supplies of food that may not be the best option
for perfectly healthy individuals, let alone individuals with high cholesterol. Eating a diet that is
high in fruits and vegetables; consuming fish, such as salmon; and increasing fiber intake can all
help to lower cholesterol levels. Even drinking 1 to 2 glasses of red wine a night can serve to reduce
cholesterol levels. People affected by high cholesterol have to be mindful of how much red meat
they consume; they should limit the amount of eggs eaten, fried foods, and dairy products. Total
cholesterol intake should be between 250 and 300 mg/day (heart.org, 2013). Eating processed and
fast food only exacerbates hyperlipidemia, so making an effort to devise a diet plan and cook the
necessary foods, would serve to decrease cholesterol levels. Increasing physical activity is also a
necessity that can contribute to having good cholesterol levels. "Enjoy at least 30 minutes of
moderate intensity aerobic physical activity more days than not for a total of at least 50 minutes per
week" (heart.org, 2013). That equates to working out for about 45 minutes at least 3 days a week.

INTRODUCTION
The word 'yoga' comes from 'yuj' in sanskrit, which means 'unity' or 'Yoke' the relative meaning is to
concentrate attention or 'use'. 'Asana' is one of the most significant tools of yoga helping to position
the body in various positions with the total participation of the mind and self to establish
communication between our inner and outer self (Iyengar, 2001). Yoga practices assume a critical
part in the support of human systems. Yoga perfect builds up the body as well as produces
intellectual capacities. Moreover, yogis procure dominance of the involuntary muscles of their body
(A.M. Moorthy and J. David Manual Raju, 1983). In this study we try to discover the effects of
aerobic dance and yogic practice on blood lipid profiles among university students. Yoga provides
techniques (physically, mentally, intellectually and emotionally) for this growth. These techniques
are also therapeutically useful for many of the stress–related problems. Sound health is an adjusted
advancement of a person's identity and enthusiastic dispositions, empowering him to live in
harmony with his condition. It is only a great adjustment to the biological balance in our body and
this can be achieved by doing yogic practices and exercises: "Yoga has a total message for mankind,

patients with CHD. In general, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a complex disease; no one single
gene mutation is responsible for it. Therefore a new genome–wide association study (GWAS) was
launched to investigate a wide range of genes that is associated with the CVD.
Genome–Wide associated Study is a study involving hundreds of thousands of single–nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) to be examined in relation to diseases in hundreds of thousands of subjects.
GWAS studies compare the DNA of various subjects having different phenotypes of a specific
disease, to the control subjects in order to identify the genome associated with the disease. Another
way to run GWAS studies is by collecting thousands of hundreds of DNA samples. Using SNPs
arrays genetic variants are read, if one variant has a higher frequency in subjects with a specific

Implications of Health Inequalities Currently, Heart disease is the leading cause of death among

prevalence rate for LDL issues vs. 31% for men. Likewise, in older women vs older men, the
prevalence for hypertension rates for women were 57% vs. 54% in men (Mozaffarian et al., 2016).
Within the VA, there is an even bigger gap for management of LDL's and heart disease. 79.47% of

Chemical structure and functional groups Simvastatin is one of the statins derivatives that is synthesised from a fermentation product of Aspergillus terreus. The simvastatin is an inactive lactone which is hydrolysed to the β–hydroxyacid form when it is taken orally. β–hydroxyacid form is an inhibitor of 3–hydroxy–3–methylglutaryl– coenzyme A(HMG–CoA) reductase.

The mode of action Statins are competitive inhibitors HMG–CoA reductase, it has been considered as a first line for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. Their mode of action is by mimicking the substrate molecule HMG–CoA and competes for binding to the HMGCR enzyme. It works by slowing the production rate of mevalonate which responsible for the production of cholesterol molecule. Most of the cholesterol synthesis in the body is done by internal mechanism through the liver cells particularly at night during fasting; it is taken at night to inhibit the cholesterol production. It maximizes its inhibitory effect and the data shows a significant fall in the LDL and a fall in the total cholesterol level in the blood. Simvastatin can have different pharmacological effects from other statins groups due to different ring structures and chemical side groups such as different affinity toward the receptors, different rates of connection to liver cells from non–liver cells, different bioavailability and biochemical metabolism and execration. All these factors affect its half–life which is short (Anon, 2015). Statins are selective towards the hepatic cells because of their lipophilic properties.

There are countless studies conducted to see the possible effects obesity can cause to an individual. One study concluded, if two obese individuals have a child, that child has a high percentage of being obese as well (Kolata 2007). Although there are different methods to help individuals lose weight, there are different reasons for people not to lose the excess weight.

The LDL cholesterol inside of HDL and LDL particles is precisely the identical, it's just that, for the maximum part, HDL is wearing it in one path and LDL is sporting it in the opposite route. The reason why LDL were dubbed horrific and HDL has been dubbed excellent is that numerous epidemiological studies most famously, the Framingham heart study told us that excessive LDL levels had been related to a better chance of heart assault, and that high HDL levels have been related to a lower risk of heart assault. We used to suppose that HDL changed into desirable as it acted like a rubbish truck, clearing evil cholesterol out of our bodies, and we used to assume that LDL was awful because it burrowed its manner into our coronary arteries, depositing evil cholesterol there forming plaques and causing coronary heart attacks.

The two main types, as found on WebMD, are "low–density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), also known as the "bad" cholesterol, and high–density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), also called "good" cholesterol" ("Understanding Cholesterol Numbers"). The weird factor about running is that while it does reduce the levels of LDL, it increases the levels of HDL. The American Heart Association considers HDL to be the "good cholesterol" because it "may protect you from heart disease by transporting cholesterol out of your arteries" (Cavazos 1). This article also reads, The Peak Performance website reports that the more ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Running can also help the population of patients with heart disease by helping to improve their oxygen intake. As found in an article written by Jonathan Myers, it was stated that "As one's ability to transport and use oxygen improves, regular daily activities can be performed with less fatigue. This is particularly important for patients with cardiovascular disease, whose exercise capacity is typically lower than that of healthy individuals" (1). So not only can running help reduce the chances of accumulating heart disease over the years, but it can also help certain patients who unfortunately already have coronary heart disease (CHD). It may be surprising to hear, but the way running effects your physical body system, also leads to affecting the brain. The amount of oxygen your body produces can improve the amount of oxygen and minerals your brain consumes. This leads into the next benefit of running. Running not only has physical health benefits, as listed above, but is also known for having psychological benefits. One of the most commonly known benefits is the "runners high". This is a happy and energizing sensation that some runners feel once they get done with a run.

Benecol has become a successful additive to multiple product lines due to its unique ingredient of plant stanol ester. The ingredient has been proven to reduce cholesterol levels and can easily be added to any food (Grant, 2010). Raisio, up until 1997, produced much of the plant stanol it needed and was self– sufficient in its exploitation of stanol ester technology (Grant, 2010). Raisio then made the decision to become part of Johnson & Johnson in order to gain global marketing, manufacturing, and distribution capabilities. Through ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Their success was based on its innovation to create technology to extract and produce the main ingredient in Benecol. By using a differentiation advantage which singled them out in a very specific market (foods that lower cholesterol) they were able to put plans in place to guarantee the success of the product. By merging with J&J, they create a large market for their product with multiple distribution capabilities. Because differentiation is only affected when consumers are made aware, Benecol was marketed widely to lower cholesterol and most people know it now as a "health food" (Grant, 2010). The process of innovation and competition is also very important in the position that Benecol is in its life cycle. The product began with short production runs, with limited specialized distribution channels in 1996. It then emerged into the growth stage of its life cycle when it partnered with J& J to create multiple product lines, mass production, and competition for distribution. Benecol seems to be in its Maturity stage at the present time, allowing for long production runs, and distributors carrying fewer lines, due to economy and less demand for high end food products (Grant, 2010).

  • 14. The Effects Of Dyslipidemia On The Body Dyslipidemia is characterized by increased total cholesterol levels, low–density lipoprotein– cholesterol levels (LDL–C), triglyceride levels (TG), and low high–density lipoprotein–cholesterol levels (HDL–C) (1). Most of the cholesterols in the body (60–70%) are transported to liver cells in the form of LDL–C through direct interaction with specific LDL receptors (1). Dietary intake of foods that are high in cholesterol and saturated fats (such as egg yolk, butter, fast food) activates a feedback mechanism which lowers the activity of LDL receptors. As a consequence, LDLs are no longer being efficiency recycled to the liver and plasma LDL levels increased dramatically (1). The excess circulating LDLs are able to migrate through endothelial ...

Secondary prevention of cardiovascular events and all–cause–mortality are the primary outcomes for JF's lipid–lowering therapy. JF was previously stable on atorvastatin for many years and thus has not had lipid testing in the past year. JF recalls meeting her cholesterol targets previously (LDL ~2.0 mmol/L, HDL ~1.2 mmol/L, TG and TC unknown).

However, no clinical studies thus far have directly evaluated the benefits of titrating statin dose to achieve target values. A different fix–dose approach involves giving patients the same doses that were shown to produce clinical benefits in trials regardless of how much LDL–C reduction was achieved (1, 2).

Non Communicable Diseases (NCD), such as diabetes, cancer, depression and heart disease, are rapidly replacing infectious diseases and malnutrition as the leading causes of morbidity & mortality. Men and women are equally affected. Cancer, Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) and diabetes are becoming of serious concern, accounting for 52 % of deaths and 38 per % of disease burden in the South East Asia Region as reported by World Health Organization (WHO). With the current trends, the top five causes of high morbidity and mortality in 2020 are likely to be ischemic heart disease, unipolar major depression, road traffic injuries, cerebrovascular diseases, and chronic obstructive lung disease.1 While mortality due to communicable diseases is decreasing, for non–communicable diseases it is rising at a very rapid pace. The health policy makers are facing with the burden of providing resources for the control and prevention of both the existing communicable diseases, and the increasing number of non– communicable diseases.

Individuals with two defective copies develop this disease at an early age which usually leads to death. It is always thought that FH is caused by the mutations of the LDL receptor proteins. There are currently more than 800 different mutations for the LDLR that cause FH (Soutar & Naoumova, 2007).

Where roasts and salmon and vegetables are not just a normal part of the diet but essential. Though it is dangerous to start a ketogenic diet without a little bit of research.

  • 31. Essay On Hyperlipidemia Hyperlipidemia affects nearly 30% of Americans (CDC, 2012). Hyperlipidemia may be better known as high cholesterol. Cholesterol is a fatty wax–like substance that is naturally produced in the body (NLM, 2013). People with high cholesterol may never even know they have the condition. But when they become aware, they have to make immediate changes in relation to adhering to specific diets, exercising regularly, and undergoing prescribed treatment or alternative therapies.

This may be a difficult feat to undertake. More people are working longer hours, and it may seem as though there is never enough time to do everything that needs to be done. On top of this, there are ample fast food restaurants available with 24 hour supplies of food that may not be the best option for perfectly healthy individuals, let alone individuals with high cholesterol. Eating a diet that is high in fruits and vegetables; consuming fish, such as salmon; and increasing fiber intake can all help to lower cholesterol levels. Even drinking 1 to 2 glasses of red wine a night can serve to reduce cholesterol levels. People affected by high cholesterol have to be mindful of how much red meat they consume; they should limit the amount of eggs eaten, fried foods, and dairy products. Total cholesterol intake should be between 250 and 300 mg/day (heart.org, 2013). Eating processed and fast food only exacerbates hyperlipidemia, so making an effort to devise a diet plan and cook the necessary foods, would serve to decrease cholesterol levels. Increasing physical activity is also a necessity that can contribute to having good cholesterol levels. "Enjoy at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic physical activity more days than not for a total of at least 50 minutes per week" (heart.org, 2013). That equates to working out for about 45 minutes at least 3 days a week. Those individuals with high cholesterol need to walk, run, dance, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

INTRODUCTION The word 'yoga' comes from 'yuj' in sanskrit, which means 'unity' or 'Yoke' the relative meaning is to concentrate attention or 'use'. 'Asana' is one of the most significant tools of yoga helping to position the body in various positions with the total participation of the mind and self to establish communication between our inner and outer self (Iyengar, 2001). Yoga practices assume a critical part in the support of human systems. Yoga perfect builds up the body as well as produces intellectual capacities. Moreover, yogis procure dominance of the involuntary muscles of their body (A.M. Moorthy and J. David Manual Raju, 1983).

The new findings help better understand the cardiac development and effect on clinical care for patients with CHD. In general, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a complex disease; no one single gene mutation is responsible for it. Therefore a new genome–wide association study (GWAS) was launched to investigate a wide range of genes that is associated with the CVD. Genome–Wide associated Study is a study involving hundreds of thousands of single–nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to be examined in relation to diseases in hundreds of thousands of subjects. GWAS studies compare the DNA of various subjects having different phenotypes of a specific disease, to the control subjects in order to identify the genome associated with the disease. Another way to run GWAS studies is by collecting thousands of hundreds of DNA samples. Using SNPs arrays genetic variants are read, if one variant has a higher frequency in subjects with a specific disease, which reveals that this genetic variant is linked to the disease.

In the 2016 Update of the Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics report from the American Heart Association, women, in general, have a 32% prevalence rate for LDL issues vs. 31% for men. Likewise, in older women vs older men, the prevalence for hypertension rates for women were 57% vs. 54% in men (Mozaffarian et al., 2016). Within the VA, there is an even bigger gap for management of LDL's and heart disease. 79.47% of women vs. 88.89% of men have LDL levels within the normal limits. Similarly, 79.34% of women vs. 85.67% of men with diabetes had an LDL within normal limits (Whitehead et al., 2014). Both high LDL and hypertension are proven risk factors for heart disease and stroke. When paired with diabetes, risk of peripheral artery disease, heart failure, and irregular heartbeat can also be factors (Mozaffarian et al., 2016). Mental health inequities cannot be overlooked.
