Results: The study included 100 patients with metabolic syndrome (81 men, 19 women) (average age: 51 years). At the end of 6 months of treatment, policosanol significantly reduced the redox index with respect to the initial values and with respect to the placebo group.
14 mar 2019 · Purpose of Review. Overwhelming evidence indicates that reduction of blood low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), ratio of LDL-C/HDL-C, and TG/HDL-C ameliorate the occurrence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Long-chain alcohols and aldehydes known generically as policosanol (PC) and policosanal have attracted attention from ...
Biochemistry. Cuban-manufactured policosanol is a mixture of alcohols isolated and purified from sugar cane. It consists of 66-percent octacosanol (CH3-CH2(26)-CH2-OH), 12-percent triacontanol, and 7-percent hexacosanol.
1 wrz 2022 · Policosanol, a well-tolerated long-chain aliphatic alcohol has been proven to be effective against the components of metabolic syndrome (namely dyslipidemia, diabetes, hypertension, and obesity) even when used for a long period with minimal or no adverse effects.
3 kwi 2024 · This article describes the potential health benefits of policosanol, including how it is taken and what possible side effects may occur. It also takes an evidence-based look at the research on policosanol and whether it supports the claims that it can help lower cholesterol.
1 cze 2024 · Therefore, this systematic review provides a comprehensive assessment of available evidence to ascertain whether policosanol supplementation has a positive impact on fasting blood glucose in adults from different populations or not.
Furthermore, policosanol decreases progression and increases regression of cardiovascular disease assessed by thallium-labeled myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (TL-MPS) and Doppler-ultrasound, and decreases symptoms of cardiovascular disease assessed by the Specific Activity Scale.
