Colchicine for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease: Potential Global Implementation
AbstractPurpose of ReviewTargeting traditional cardiovascular risk factors is effective in reducing recurrent cardiovascular events, yet the presence of residual cardiovascular risk due to underlying systemic inflammation is a largely unaddressed opportunity. This review aims to comprehensively assess the evolving role of colchicine as a therapeutic approach targeting residual inflammatory risk in the context of those with coronary artery disease (CAD).Recent FindingsInflammation plays a significant role in promoting atherosclerosis, and targeting anti-inflammatory pathways has the potential to decrease cardiovascular even...

Effects of Saikosaponin-A on Insulin Resistance in Obesity: Computational and Animal Experimental Study
In conclusion, our study suggests that SSA may serve as a therapeutic agent for addressing the metabolic complications associated with obesity. This potential therapeutic effect is attributed to the suppression of inflammatory cytokines and the upregulation of FGF21 and ATG7.PMID:38569867 | DOI:10.1248/cpb.c23-00782 (Source: Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin)

Obicetrapib as an Adjunct to Stable Statin Therapy in Japanese Subjects: Results from a Randomized Phase 2 Trial
CONCLUSIONS: All doses of obicetrapib taken as an adjunct to stable statin therapy significantly lowered atherogenic lipoprotein lipid parameters, showed near complete elimination of drug by 4 weeks, and were safe and well tolerated in a Japanese population, similar to previous studies of obicetrapib conducted in predominantly Caucasian participants.PMID:38569868 | DOI:10.5551/jat.64828 (Source: Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis)
