166 results about "Triglyceride level" patented technology

Techniques for managing diabetes and pre-diabetes using light are disclosed herein. In one example, a light generating device is positioned to a body part of a diabetic or pre-diabetic patient, and a beam of light generated by the light generating device is directed to the body part of the patient to control blood sugar level of the patient. In various embodiments, the beam of light directed to the patient can also help to control the blood lipid level such as triglyceride level, blood liver enzyme of the patient, and various other symptoms of diabetes and pre-diabetes. In various embodiments, the body part includes body area rich in adipose tissue, such as the abdominal area, thigh, buttocks, and upper arms of the patient.

In one aspect, the present invention features HCV therapies comprising administering to a patient in need thereof an HCV protease inhibitor and ritonavir, wherein ritonavir is used as a pharmacokinetic booster to improve the pharmacokinetics of the HCV protease inhibitor. The HCV therapies do not require the testing of total cholesterol and triglyceride levels prior to and after the therapies.

Provided herein are pharmaceutical formulations containing exendins, exendin agonists, or exendin analog agonists that are administered at therapeutic plasma concentration levels over a sustained period of time to lower total cholesterol levels; to lower LDL-cholesterol levels; to lower triglyceride levels; to treat dyslipidemia; to treat and slow the progression of atherosclerosis; and to treat, prevent, and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes in patients. In the pharmaceutical formulations and methods of the invention, the exendin may be exendin-4, an exendin-4 agonist, or an exendin-4 analog agonist. The pharmaceutical formulations may be polymer-based pharmaceutical formulations that may be administered once weekly. An exemplary pharmaceutical formulation comprises 5% (w / w) of exenatide, about 2% (w / w) of sucrose, and about 93% (w / w) of a poly(lactide-co-glycolide) polymer, wherein the poly(lactide-co-glycolide) polymer is in the form of microshperes encapsulating the exenatide.

Novel dipeptide ethers are effective for lowering blood glucose, serum insulin, free fatty acids, cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The dipeptide ethers are also useful for the treatment and / or prophylaxis of diabetes, obesity, inflammation and autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.
