• Olive Leaf Extract Can Help Tackle High Blood Pressure And Cholesterol - Taking 1000mg of a specific olive leaf extract (EFLA?943) can lower cholesterol and lower blood pressure in patients with mild hypertension (high blood pressure). These findings came from a 'Twins' trial, in which different treatments were given to identical twins. By doing this, researchers could increase the power of their data by eliminating some of the uncertainties caused by genetic variations between individual people.
• Low Cholesterol Associated With Cancer In Diabetics - Low levels of LDL cholesterol as well as high levels are associated with cancer in patients with type 2 diabetes, found a prospective cohort study published in CMAJ.
• New Pre-Clinical Research On RNAi-Mediated Silencing Of PCSK9, A Genetically Validated Regulator Of LDL Metabolism - Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALNY), a leading RNAi therapeutics company, announced that new pre-clinical data from its hypercholesterolemia program was published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (Frank-Kamenetsky, M., et al (August 11, 2008) Proc.
