Summary
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of retinoic acid on the HDL-PON1 activity
and cholesterol efflux capacity in hypercholesterolemic subjects.
Clinical Details
Official title: Effect of Retinoic Acid Supplementation on the HDL-Associated Paraoxonase 1 Activity in Subjects With Hypercholesterolemia: A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Trial
Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Treatment
Primary outcome: PON1 activity
Secondary outcome: Lp-PLA2 activity
Detailed description:
Paraoxonase 1 (PON1), an enzyme associated with high-density lipoprotein, is reported to
have antioxidant and cardioprotective properties. And all-trans-retinoic acid revealed the
ameliorating atherosclerosis effects in many reports. There maybe some correlations between
retinoic acid and PON1 activity and the study aim to prove it.
