The relativity of lipids to Systemic Inflammation..A New Paradigm Shift..
Early in the twentieth century Einstein shocked the physical world, overturning the Newtonian Laws which declared Time and space as constants.Einstein repudiation of the absolute consistency of time and space was not based on new math, but of careful observation of everyday events which were there for all the world to see...Einstein just looked at them a little more carefully...I believe the same can be scrutiny can be applied to blood and tissue lipids and how they effect the disease processes associated with cardiovascular disease and other age degenerative processes..
Observation 1) Blood lipids and sugar levels are controlled principally by enzyme activity that removes these fuels from the blood and stores them in the adipose tissue fat cells...and not by the dietary intake or production by the liver..The idea that dietary excess is the principal cause of high trigs, high cholesterol or high sugars is incorrect..
Observation 2) Enzyme activity that clears trigs, cholesterol, and blood sugars from the blood stream are profoundly effected by Systemic Inflammation. (SI)..Elevated Systemic inflammation (SI) lowers the bodies ability to remove and store lipids and sugars from the blood stream..and result in elevated trigs, cholesterol and blood sugars...
Observation 3) Systemic inflammation is principally controlled by the EPA/AA ratio...Which is diet related, but not based on lipid levels..but rather caloric and EPA intake.
Observation 4) Elevated lipid and sugar levels are reflections of elevated SI and to be effective the therapy must me directed toward lowering SI...Methods which lower sugars, trigs or cholesterol, but do not lower SI will not effect the degenerative processes..
Some ramifications...
1) the mineral oil dilemma..Elevated LDL-Cs seen in the placebo arm of the R-I trial...What might cause this..First of all it is important to understand the dynamics of the lipoprotein particles..LDL-C is the lipid fraction that carries low density cholesterol which is widely accepted as a CVD risk factor...Another lipid factor VLDL-C (very low density lipoprotein-C is the fraction that carries mostly trigs...but LDL-C and VLDL are not mutually exclusive as VLDL also carries LDL-C and if trigs are lowered then the VLDL-C is converted into LDL-C..which results in higher LDL-C levels...Now another factor comes in and that is EPA has the almost magical ability to lower trigs (VLDL) and not raise the LDL-C levels..(This was the non obvious part of the 889 patent which put V on the map with the MARINE indication..
The important point is that a slight rise in LDL-C does not indicate mineral oil is blocking statins.. It should be noted that elevated LDL-C in the placebo arm is only relative to the LDL-C levels in the active arm...And we know that EPA actively lowers SI which will lower LDL-C levels and that EPA can lower trig levels without raising LDL-C...And because of these effects the LDL-C levels in the active arm should be lower than the LDL-C levels in the placebo arm..It is actually surprising the LDL-C levels are not more divergent...
We are on the verge of a new paradigm shift...The shift is that lipid levels are the puppets and SI is the puppet master....The EPA/AA ratio is virtually universal in our bodies..Correcting the SI is key...

1.If you speak to any competent physician, they say that Diabetes is actually a reflection of a cardio-vascular problem. The high blood sugar is only a symptom of it.
2. From a doctor on another board, (paraphrasing), it's inflammation that prevents insulin from doing what its supposed to do. It is also inflammation that causes high trigs in non-diabetics and diabetics, as well. Vascepa reduces inflammation, which allows the body to process (insulin) properly and triglycerides drop. This is why this drug is so valuable. Reducing inflammation reduces triglycerides and lowers MACE, and will also allow insulin to do its job in diabetics, but Vascepa will also reduce inflammation in countless other ways... Seborrheic dermatitis? Rheumatoid Arthritis? Scarring after surgery? Rosacea? Will it affect the mechanisms of Alzheimers? Parkinsons? Multiple Sclerosis? How many other countless applications will/does it have?
3. News: Vascepa helped diabetes patients: CREATES SHORT-LONG CRISIS, Stockvadar-writes
Like it or not, Amarin's lead investigator is reporting this week to a room of cardio-diabetes specialists.
Go long or go short, your money. We believe Vascepa helped diabetes patients.
Let it sink in. $60B is our baseline (probably low) for a buy-out.

damn i need to study this shyt and e trade still dikked me on those shares
