Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of body mass and body composition on circulating levels of natriuretic peptides: results from the Dallas Heart Study.
Sandeep R Das,Mark H. Drazner,Daniel L. Dries,Gloria Lena Vega,Harold G. Stanek,Shuaib M Abdullah,Russell M. Canham,Anne K. Chung,David Leonard,Frank H. Wians,James A. de Lemos +10 more
TL;DR: These findings do not support the hypothesis that the lower BNP levels seen in obesity are driven by enhanced BNP clearance mediated via NPR-C, and both BNP and NT-proBNP are more closely associated with lean mass than with fat mass.
Journal ArticleDOI
No Association Between Plasma Levels of Plant Sterols and Atherosclerosis in Mice and Men
Kenneth R. Wilund,Liqing Yu,Fang Xu,Gloria Lena Vega,Scott M. Grundy,Jonathan Cohen,Helen H. Hobbs +6 more
TL;DR: The results of this study do not support an association between elevated plasma levels of plant sterols and atherosclerosis, despite the fact that cholesterol levels were significantly higher in subjects with coronary calcium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of adding fenofibrate (200 mg/day) to simvastatin (10 mg/day) in patients with combined hyperlipidemia and metabolic syndrome
Gloria Lena Vega,Patrick T. S. Ma,Nilo B. Cater,Nilo B. Cater,Neil G. Filipchuk,Shinichi Meguro,Ana Barbara Garcia-Garcia,Scott M. Grundy +7 more
TL;DR: A combination of simvastatin 10mg/day and fenofibrate 200 mg/day appears to be effective and safe for the treatment of atherogenic dyslipidemia in combined hyperlipidemic patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction in Levels of 24S-Hydroxycholesterol by Statin Treatment in Patients With Alzheimer Disease
Gloria Lena Vega,Myron F. Weiner,Anne M. Lipton,Klaus von Bergmann,Dieter Lütjohann,Carol Moore,Doris Svetlik +6 more
TL;DR: The effect of statins on LDL partially explains the reduction of plasma oxysterol level, and 3 statins and a nonstatin hypolipidemic agent on plasma levels of 24S-hydroxycholesterol and apo E in patients with AD are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Normal triglyceride levels despite insulin resistance in African Americans: role of lipoprotein lipase.
Anne E. Sumner,Gloria Lena Vega,David J. Genovese,Karl B. Finley,Richard N. Bergman,Raymond C. Boston +5 more
TL;DR: In African Americans, increased PH-LPL activity is associated with a decrease in TG levels, and the lack of an effect of insulin resistance on PH- LPL could allow LPL to clear TG even in the presence of insulin Resistance.
