The Role of Lipid-Lowering Therapy in Multiple Risk Factor ManagementDrugs - Tập 56 - Trang 1-7 - 2012
Ricardo J. Esper
Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that the risk of death from coronary heart disease (CHD) increases in parallel with increasing serum cholesterol levels. The risk is highest in patients with severely elevated cholesterol levels [i.e. >6.2 mmol/L (240 mg/dl)]. However, even in patients with serum cholesterol levels of 4.7 to 5.7 mmol/L (180 to 220 mg/dl), mortality from CHD is 30 to 70% hi...... hiện toàn bộ

Benjamin C. T. Field, Alison M. Wren, Dunstan Cooke, Stephen R. Bloom
Food intake and bodyweight are tightly regulated by the brainstem, hypothalamus and reward circuits. These centres integrate diverse cognitive inputs with humoral and neuronal signals of nutritional status. Our knowledge of the role of gut hormones in this complex homeostatic system has expanded enormously in recent years. This review discusses both the role of gut hormones in appetite regulation,...... hiện toàn bộ
