Enhancement of High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Quantity and Quality by Regular and Habitual Exercise in Middle-Aged Women with Improvements in Lipid and Apolipoprotein Profiles: Larger Particle Size and Higher Antioxidant Ability of HDL

Kyung-Hyun Cho et al.

Summary: Regular exercise, especially aerobic exercise, is beneficial for increasing serum high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels in the general population. The optimal intensity and frequency of exercise to increase HDL quantity and enhance HDL quality in middle-aged women need to be determined. This study compared the changes in HDL quantity and quality among middle-aged women depending on exercise intensity, frequency, and duration.

The Protective Effects of Policosanol on Learning and Memory Impairments in a Male Rat Model of Alzheimer's Disease

Samaneh Safari et al.

Summary: The present study investigated the effects of policosanol (PCO) on cognitive function, oxidative-antioxidative status, and amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaque formation in an Alzheimer's disease (AD) rat model. The results showed that PCO treatment improved Aβ-induced cognitive decline by modulating oxidative-antioxidative status and inhibiting Aβ plaque formation.

Cuban Sugar Cane Wax Alcohol Exhibited Enhanced Antioxidant, Anti-Glycation and Anti-Inflammatory Activity in Reconstituted High-Density Lipoprotein (rHDL) with Improved Structural and Functional Correlations: Comparison of Various Policosanols

Kyung-Hyun Cho et al.

Summary: Policosanols from different sources have been marketed for their potential to prevent dyslipidemia, diabetes, and hypertension by increasing HDL-C levels. However, there has been no study on how each policosanol influences the quality and functionality of HDL particles. This study compared the effects of different policosanols on lipoprotein metabolism using reconstituted HDLs in vitro and in zebrafish embryos.

Comparative Analysis of Policosanols Related to Growth Times from the Seedlings of Various Korean Oat (Avena sativa L.) Cultivars and Screening for Adenosine 5′-Monophosphate-Activated Protein Kinase (AMPK) Activation

Han-Gyeol Lee et al.

Summary: The profiles of policosanols and the properties of AMPK were evaluated in Korean oat seedlings at different growth times. The study found that hexacosanol was the predominant policosanol and its content increased with the growth time. The seedlings grown for 11 days showed the highest policosanol content, and these policosanols were able to activate AMPK.

A network meta-analysis on the comparative effect of nutraceuticals on lipid profile in adults

Tadeusz Osadnik et al.

Summary: Hypercholesterolemia is responsible for an estimated 2.6 million deaths worldwide. Non-adherence to statin therapy is mainly due to statin-associated muscle symptoms. Nutraceuticals are prescribed as an alternative, and this study aimed to assess their efficacy in lowering LDL-C and improving lipid profile.

Native High-Density Lipoproteins (HDL) with Higher Paraoxonase Exerts a Potent Antiviral Effect against SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), While Glycated HDL Lost the Antiviral Activity

Kyung-Hyun Cho et al.

Summary: Native HDL exhibits potent antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 without cytotoxicity, while glycation of HDL impairs its antiviral activity. These results may explain why patients with diabetes mellitus or hypertension are more sensitive to COVID-19 infection and have a higher risk of mortality.

Long-Term Treatment of Cuban Policosanol Attenuates Abnormal Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Response via Amyloid Plaques Reduction in 5xFAD Mice

Jin-Ho Kim et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated the memory-improving effects of Cuban policosanol (PCO) in 5xFAD mice, reducing amyloid plaques in the brain and decreasing inflammation. Long-term PCO treatment also restored oxidative stress levels and synaptic loss in the brains of 5xFAD mice. Overall, PCO shows potential as a useful supplement to delay or prevent Alzheimer's disease progression by inhibiting the formation of A beta plaques in the brain.

Effect of policosanol from insect wax on amyloid β-peptide-induced toxicity in a transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans model of Alzheimer's disease

Xin Zhang et al.

Summary: The study suggests that policosanol derived from insect wax (PIW) may have a potential therapeutic effect on Alzheimer's disease (AD), reducing Aβ-induced toxicity, extending lifespan in AD model worms, and modulating longevity-related pathways and AD-related symptoms. Further research is needed to explore its effects on murine models and AD patients.
