In case you haven’t heard yet, a company called Arteria has created an experimental drug that could eliminate dyslipidemia. Check out an excerpt from the article on MedicalNewsToday:
Scientists have discovered a molecule that is highly active in inhibiting the intestinal absorption of lipids, making it an excellent candidate for fighting dyslipidemia and associated cardiac events, especially in diabetics. According to WHO, about 230 million people suffer from Type II diabetes worldwide, with estimations projecting these figures will rise to 400 million by 2025. Around 40% of type 2 diabetes patients suffer from dyslipidemia, including hypertriglyceridemia.
Arteria SA, today announced that it has obtained highly promising results in preclinical non-regulatory studies for its AP-5258 molecule, an inhibitor of the CD36 receptor and that it intends to start regulatory studies.
During pre-clinical in vivo tests using a very substantial dose of AP-5258 molecule, the inhibitor demonstrated high intestinal activity, blocking the transfer of postprandial triglycerides.
Taken orally the molecule potentially reduces postprandial hypertriglyceridemia (high blood fat levels of triglycerides after eating) and protects patients from diabetic dyslipidemia.

While it still has a ways to go before it shows up on the market, it’s always good news to hear about breakthroughs in the diabetes field. It is a field full of scientists looking for cures, but not often finding any. Best of luck to Arteria as they move forward on their trials og the AP-5258 molecule.
For those of you who don’t know what dyslipidemia is, allow me to take a moment and explain…
Dyslipidemia Definition
Dyslipidemia (or dyslipidaemia as it is sometimes spelled) is an abnormal amount of lipids in a person’s blood. (Lipids is a term used to describe any of a group of molecules that naturally occur in the body – e.g. fat, cholesterol, or Vitamins A, E, D, or K). While dyslipidemia can refer to an abnormally high OR low amount of lipids in the blood, most dyslipidemia sufferers in developed countries are classified as having hyperlipidemia (sometimes referred to as hypercholesterolemia), or an abnormally high amount of lipids in the blood.
What causes Dyslipidemia?
In diabetic people, dyslipidemia is most often caused by the elevated levels of insulin present in the body. Most diabetics with dyslipidemia have low HDL cholesterol and an elevated level of triglycerides. Risk factors for dyslipidemia include type 2 diabetes, resistance to insulin, obesity, and high blood glucose. Diabetics without dyslipidemia are not immune from getting it either – studies have shown that dyslipidemia can develop because of kidney or thyroid problems.
Dyslipidemia Symptoms
Most dyslipidemia sufferers have absolutely no symptoms, but if left untreated it can lead to more serious health problems, such as coronary artery disease or acute pancreatitis.
Dyslipidemia Treatment
Right now, the best treatment is a lifestyle (diet) change and regular exercise. If trials go well for Arteria’s newest drug, an easier solution could be on your pharmacy shelves within the next few years, but until then people suffering from dyslipidemia will have to follow the current diet recommended by doctors – low calorie, low cholesterol, no trans fat, no fried foods, and no sugary foods.
Is There Another Way?
As mentioned in the article, it is estimated by the WHO that over 200 million people worldwide suffer with Type 2 diabetes and roughly 100 million of those people suffer from dyslipidemia (aka hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, or dyslipidaemia) as well. While drugs like Arteria’s offer hope, they are still years away from being offered to the public and honestly they don’t solve the whole issue of diabetes, they merely help ease the suffering.
To truly live a better life you can’t just treat the symptoms of diabetes, you have to eliminate them forever and while most pharmaceutical companies will tell you that’s impossible, there are a growing number of doctors and former diabetes sufferers that are speaking out and spreading the word about natural cures like the one you’ll see below. Check it out and you will notice the testimonials from former diabetes sufferers, the statistics by Dr. Robert Young (83% cure for Type 1 diabetes) and the quote by Dr. Joseph Mercola (virtually every case of Type 2 diabetes is reversible).
In the end, it’s your decision to make, but ask yourself one question…
