The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a combination of red yeast rice, Silybum marianum and octasonol compared to placebo on lipid profile, endothelial, and inflammatory parameters in low risk dislipidemic patients. One hundred and thirty-four dislipidemic patients were randomised to take placebo or a patented nutraceutical association in tablet form (Zeta ColestRT), 1 tablet /day (immediately after the dinner), for three months in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. At baseline and after 3 months the following were evaluated: body weight, body mass index (BMI), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), lipid profile, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), soluble E-selectin (sE-selectin), metalloprotineases-2 and -9 (MMP-2 and MMP-9), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). The nutraceutical combination decreased total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol compared to baseline (p = 0.042, and p = 0.041, respectively) and to placebo (p = 0.039, and p = 0.037, respectively). Triglycerides were reduced by the active treatment (p = 0.039), but not by placebo, even if, in group to group comparison, no differences were recorded (p = 0.061). All adipocytokines were reduced by the nutraceutical combination, in particular p = 0.044 for sICAM-1, p = 0.045 for sVCAM-1, p = 0.040 for sE-selectin, p = 0.035 for MMP-2, p = 0.039 for MMP-9, p = 0.038 for Hs-CRP, p = 0.036 for TNF-α, and p = 0.036 for IL-6 compared to baseline, and p = 0.042 for sICAM-1, p = 0.043 for sVCAM-1, p = 0.042 for sE-selectin, p = 0.031 for MMP-2, p = 0.038 for MMP-9, p =0.038 for Hs-CRP, and p = 0.043 for TNF-alpha, espectively, compared to placebo. We can conclude that a combination of red yeast rice, Silybum marianum and octasonol was effective in improving lipid profile, endothelial, and inflammatory parameters in low risk dislipidemic patients.
本研究旨在评估红曲米、水飞蓟素和八角素组合与安慰剂相比,对低危血脂异常患者的血脂谱、内皮和炎症参数的影响。134 名血脂异常患者被随机分配服用安慰剂或专利营养保健品(Zeta ColestRT),每天 1 片(晚饭后立即服用),进行为期 3 个月的双盲、安慰剂对照试验。在基线和 3 个月后评估以下参数:体重、体重指数(BMI)、空腹血糖(FPG)、血脂谱、可溶性细胞间黏附分子-1(sICAM-1)、可溶性血管细胞黏附分子-1(sVCAM-1)、可溶性 E-选择素(sE-selectin)、金属蛋白酶-2 和 -9(MMP-2 和 MMP-9)、高敏 C 反应蛋白(Hs-CRP)、白细胞介素-6(IL-6)和肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)。营养保健品组合可降低总胆固醇和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇,与基线相比(p=0.042 和 p=0.041)和安慰剂相比(p=0.039 和 p=0.037)。活性治疗可降低甘油三酯(p=0.039),但安慰剂组无此作用,尽管组间比较无差异(p=0.061)。营养保健品组合可降低所有脂肪细胞因子,特别是 sICAM-1 降低 0.044(p=0.044),sVCAM-1 降低 0.045(p=0.045),sE-selectin 降低 0.040(p=0.040),MMP-2 降低 0.035(p=0.035),MMP-9 降低 0.039(p=0.039),Hs-CRP 降低 0.038(p=0.038),TNF-α降低 0.036(p=0.036),与基线相比,sICAM-1 降低 0.042(p=0.042),sVCAM-1 降低 0.043(p=0.043),sE-selectin 降低 0.042(p=0.042),MMP-2 降低 0.031(p=0.031),MMP-9 降低 0.038(p=0.038),Hs-CRP 降低 0.038(p=0.038),TNF-α降低 0.043(p=0.043)。我们可以得出结论,红曲米、水飞蓟素和八角素的组合在改善低危血脂异常患者的血脂谱、内皮和炎症参数方面是有效的。
