Safety changes in labeling for cholesterol lowering drugs statins
Important safety changes to the labeling for some widely used cholesterol-lowering drugs known as statins are being announced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. These products, when used with diet and exercise, help to lower a person's "bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol).

Evacetrapib can increase good cholesterol HDL
Researchers at Cleveland Clinic reported that administration of a new drug– evacetrapib – can dramatically increase HDL (good) cholesterol, while significantly lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol). At the highest tested dosage, the levels of HDL more than doubled.

Niacin and statin treatment did not protect heart
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health has stopped a clinical trial studying a blood lipid treatment 18 months earlier than planned.

Nonstick cookware may elevate cholesterol in children and teens
Children and teens with higher blood levels of chemicals used in the production of non-stick cookware and waterproof fabrics appear more likely to have elevated total and LDL cholesterol levels.

More good cholesterol is not always good for health
We've all heard about the importance of raising HDL, or the so-called "good" cholesterol, and lowering LDL, or "bad" cholesterol, to improve heart health. While we've come to assume HDL cholesterol is an inherently good thing, a new study shows that for a certain group of patients, this is not always the case.

Prevalence of bad cholesterol levels decreases in US
Between 1999 and 2006, the prevalence of adults in the U.S. with high levels of LDL cholesterol, the "bad" cholesterol, decreased by about one-third, revealed by US researchers. But a high percentage of adults still are not being screened or treated for high cholesterol levels.

Oxycholesterol cholesterol may pose greatest heart disease risk
Health-conscious people know that high levels of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol (the so-called "bad" cholesterol) can increase the risk of heart attacks.

Red yeast rice reduce cholesterol in statin intolerant
Red yeast rice capsules reduce cholesterol LDL (low density lipoprotein) levels in statin intolerant patients without causing any adverse events such as muscle pain and weakness, revealed by researchers.

BioIQ discounted cholesterol test kits for women to detect heart disease risk
One in four women in the United States dies of heart disease. Although significant progress has been made in increasing awareness among women, most people fail to make the connection between risk factors and their personal risk for developing heart disease.

12 new genes identified for managing cholesterol, glucose, melatonin, sleep
Scientists have identified 12 new genes that are somewhat strange bedfellows: Some link gallstones and blood cholesterol levels, others link melatonin and sleep patterns to small increases in glucose levels and larger jumps in the risk of diabetes.
