  • Publication number: 20130102635
    Abstract: The invention is directed to methods for treating hyperlipidemia in a mammal. The methods involve combination therapies using a microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) inhibitor (for example, BMS-201038 and implitapide) and a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (for example simvastatin or atorvastatin). Co-administration of the MTP inhibitor with the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor produces a therapeutic benefit, for example, a reduction in the concentration of cholesterol and/or triglycerides in the blood stream, but with fewer or reduced side effects than when higher dosages of the MTP inhibitor are used during monotherapy to provide the same or similar therapeutic benefit.

  • Publication number: 20130095179
    Abstract: Methods of identifying subjects who are resistant to antiplatelet therapy, such as therapy with clopidogrel, are presented. The methods comprise determining is whether the subject is an efficient converter of medium chain polyunsaturated fatty acids to long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Also provided are methods of treating resistance to antiplatelet therapy in subjects who are efficient converters of medium chain polyunsaturated fatty acids to long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, comprising adjunctively administering to the subject an effective amount of a composition comprising omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Improved methods of antiplatelet therapy are provided, wherein the improvement comprises adjunctive administration of a composition comprising omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in free acid form.

  • Publication number: 20100273829
    Abstract: The invention is directed to methods for treating disorders associated with hyperlipidemia in a mammal.
