| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of a natural cholesterol-lowering supplement (NCLS) containing red yeast rice, policosanols and artichoke leaf extracts on blood lipid concentrations as well as on safety parameters when given over 16 weeks in 100 volunteers with untreated moderate hypercholesterolemia, in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. RESULTS: Reduction of primary outcome low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [-0.22 g/L (95% confidence interval, CI: -0.31 to -0.12) corresponding to -14.3% from baseline (95% CI: -21.5 to -7.2) compared to placebo], as well as total cholesterol, apolipoprotein B100 and apolipoprotein B100/apolipoprotein A-I ratio, were observed after 16 weeks of supplementation with NCLS. These effects were already observed at Week 4 and 10 of supplementation. No significant changes were observed in high-density lipoprotein, triacylglycerol, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase and coenzyme Q10 levels, as well as in markers of liver and renal function. CONCLUSIONS: The NCLS was effective in reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein B100 in subjects with moderate hypercholesterolemia, without modifying safety parameters. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
