Journal ArticleDOI
A Spectrum of PCSK9 Alleles Contributes to Plasma Levels of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol
Ingrid K. Kotowski,Alexander Pertsemlidis,Amy Luke,Richard S. Cooper,Richard S. Cooper,Gloria Lena Vega,Gloria Lena Vega,Jonathan Cohen,Helen H. Hobbs +8 more
TL;DR: It is revealed that PCSK9 activity is a major determinant of plasma levels of LDL-C in humans and make it an attractive therapeutic target for LDL-L cholesterol lowering, as measured by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Epidemiology of Cirrhosis in the United States: A Population-based Study.
Steven Scaglione,Stephanie Kliethermes,Guichan Cao,David A. Shoham,Ramon Durazo,Amy Luke,Michael L. Volk +6 more
TL;DR: The prevalence of cirrhosis in the general US population was higher than previously estimated, and more than half of cases may be undiagnosed and potentially preventable by controlling diabetes, alcohol abuse, and viral hepatitis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obesity and prevalent and incident CKD: the Hypertension Detection and Follow-Up Program.
TL;DR: Obesity adults with hypertension have an increased risk for chronic kidney disease, according to the results of the HDFP study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing Body Mass Index and Obesity in the Incident ESRD Population
Holly Kramer,Anand Saranathan,Amy Luke,Ramone A. Durazo-Arvizu,Cao Guichan,Susan Hou,Richard S. Cooper +6 more
TL;DR: Temporal trends in mean body mass index (BMI) and obesity prevalence were examined among incident patients with ESRD by year of dialysis initiation between 1995 and 2002, and these trends were compared with those in the US population during this same period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating the changes in energy flux that characterize the rise in obesity prevalence
Boyd Swinburn,Gary Sacks,Sing Kai Lo,Klaas R. Westerterp,Elaine Rush,Michael Rosenbaum,Amy Luke,Dale A. Schoeller,James P. DeLany,Nancy F. Butte,Eric Ravussin +10 more
TL;DR: This relation suggests that substantial increases in TEI have driven the increases in body weight over the past 3 decades and the obesity epidemic will not be reversed without large reductions in energy intake, increases in physical activity, or both.
