Epidemiological studies suggest that consumption of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) derived from fish oil, mainly consisting of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), is associated with lower cardiovascular risk. However, interventional clinical trials aimed at reducing cardiovascular incidents by n-3 PUFAs supplementations have yielded inconsistent results. An intriguing fact is that only the outcome trials using EPA, but not those testing EPA/DHA mixed regimens, showed beneficial results. This discrepancy begs the question of whether EPA and DHA have differential effects and whether DHA blunts the cardiovascular benefits of EPA. However, no head-to-head clinical trial comparison of the biological effects of EPA and DHA in the hyperlipidemia patients has been reported. Hence, a well-designed, controlled, proof-of-concept clinical study testing EPA versus DHA in a relevant population is urgently required. In this study, the human subjects with atherogenic dyslipidemia will be randomized to dietary supplementation with four grams of either EPA or DHA n-3 PUFAs for eight weeks. At baseline and after the supplementation, various markers of thrombogenesis will be assessed, including biomarkers of the clotting cascade, thromboelastography, urinary thromboxane metabolites, whole blood aggregation, platelet aggregation, and flow cytometry analysis of platelets and platelet-leukocyte aggregates will also be performed.

C. idella burgers made from a pasture-based system provide a natural method for producing high-quality fish products, resulting in meat enriched with polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, as well as fat-soluble vitamins and antioxidants. In this study, C. idella meat burgers were made from two types of diets: pasture-based (PS) and grain-based (GS). A total of 36 burgers were stored in plastic trays (three burgers per tray; 12 trays per group), in a refrigeration chamber at 4 °C ± 0.1 °C for 120 h to conduct a shelf-life experiment comparing the meats. Initial fatty acid profile and nutritional composition were determined at 0 h. Additionally, fat-soluble vitamins, antioxidants, TBA, and FRAP were measured at 0, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 h. PS burgers exhibited higher concentrations of n-3 LC-PUFAs, vitamins, antioxidants, except for gamma-tocopherol, and FRAP than GS burgers (P < 0.05), while GS burgers had higher TBA and γ-tocopherol (P < 0.05). Both burgers experienced vitamin reduction during storage, with PS burgers maintaining higher concentrations. Vitamin decline correlated with increased oxidation (TBA) in both burger types. These results suggest that pasture-fed burgers have longer shelf life than GS burgers due to reduced oxidation and enhanced stability of bioactive compounds.

Chemogenetic targeting TRPV1 in obesity-induced depression: Unveiling therapeutic potential of eicosapentaenoic acid and acupuncture

Article

Author: Zailani, Halliru ; Liu, Wen-Chun ; Cheng, Szu-Wei ; Hung, Mien-Chie ; Wu, Suet-Kei ; Lin, Yi-Wen ; Su, Kuan-Pin

The comorbidity of obesity and depression has major public health impacts, highlighting the need to understand their shared mechanisms. This study explored the connection between obesity and depression through the transient receptor potential V1 (TRPV1) signaling pathway, using obese/depressed murine models and clinical data. Mice fed a high-fat diet showed altered TRPV1 pathway expression in brain regions of the mice: downregulated in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and hippocampus, and upregulated in the hypothalamus and amygdala, influencing depression-like behaviors and inflammation. Treatments like eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and acupoint catgut embedding (ACE) reversed these effects, similar to observations in Trpv1^-/- mice. Furthermore, chemogenetic activation in the ventral mPFC also alleviated depression via TRPV1. In our clinical validation, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TRPV1-related genes (PIK3C2A and PRKCA) were linked to interferon-induced depression. These findings underscore the potential of targeting TRPV1 as a therapeutic approach for obesity-related depression.

Author: Fu, Yijie ; Wang, Xiaosan ; Li, Zongrun ; Bao, Weijia ; Tang, Xiao ; Yu, Junwen ; Wang, Xiaowen

It has been reported that eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in glycerides have various biological functions. This study presents an effective method for enriching glycerides rich in EPA and DHA through lipase-catalyzed alcoholysis. The results showed that Eversa® Transform 2.0 had the strongest discrimination against DHA and EPA in alcoholysis, which was verified by molecular docking. Additionally, selectivity of the lipase and ratio of DHA and EPA in glyceride products were significantly affected by alcohol type. Under the optimal conditions, the contents of EPA and DHA in glycerides after ethanolysis reached 12.91 % and 55.40 %, respectively, with a DHA yield of 79.22 %. In this study, an interesting finding was that Eversa® Transform 2.0 could effectively differentiate EPA and DHA during alcoholysis to allow us to prepare DHA-enriched glycerides and EPA-enriched ethyl esters after removing saturated and monounsaturated ethyl esters.

About AmarinAmarin is an innovative pharmaceutical company leading a new paradigm in cardiovascular disease management. We are committed to increasing the scientific understanding of the cardiovascular risk that persists beyond traditional therapies and advancing the treatment of that risk for patients worldwide. Amarin has offices in Bridgewater, New Jersey in the United States, Dublin in Ireland, Zug in Switzerland, and other countries in Europe as well as commercial partners and suppliers around the world. About VASCEPA®/VAZKEPA® (icosapent ethyl) Capsules VASCEPA (icosapent ethyl) capsules are the first prescription treatment approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) comprised solely of the active ingredient, icosapent ethyl (IPE), a unique form of eicosapentaenoic acid. VASCEPA was launched in the United States in January 2020 as the first drug approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of high-risk patients with persistent cardiovascular risk despite being on statin therapy. VASCEPA was initially launched in the United States in 2013 based on the drug’s initial FDA approved indication for use as an adjunct therapy to diet to reduce triglyceride levels in adult patients with severe (≥500 mg/dL) hypertriglyceridemia. Since launch, VASCEPA has been prescribed more than twenty-five million times. VASCEPA is covered by most major medical insurance plans. In addition to the United States, VASCEPA is approved and sold in Canada, China, Australia, Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain. In Europe, in March 2021 marketing authorization was granted via a centralized procedure for icosapent ethyl in the European Union for the reduction of risk of cardiovascular events in patients at high cardiovascular risk, under the brand name VAZKEPA. VAZKEPA (icosapent ethyl) is currently sold in Europe in Sweden, Finland, Austria, the UK (including England, Wales & Scotland and Northern Ireland), Spain, Portugal, Greece and the Netherlands. In April 2021 marketing authorization for VAZKEPA (icosapent ethyl) was granted in Great Britain (applying to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland). United States Indications and Limitation of Use VASCEPA is indicated: As an adjunct to maximally tolerated statin therapy to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary revascularization and unstable angina requiring hospitalization in adult patients with elevated triglyceride (TG) levels (≥ 150 mg/dL) and established cardiovascular disease or diabetes mellitus and two or more additional risk factors for cardiovascular disease. As an adjunct to diet to reduce TG levels in adult patients with severe (≥ 500 mg/dL) hypertriglyceridemia. The effect of VASCEPA on the risk for pancreatitis in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia has not been determined. Important Safety Information VASCEPA is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity (e.g., anaphylactic reaction) to VASCEPA or any of its components. VASCEPA was associated with an increased risk (3% vs 2%) of atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter requiring hospitalization in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The incidence of atrial fibrillation was greater in patients with a previous history of atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. It is not known whether patients with allergies to fish and/or shellfish are at an increased risk of an allergic reaction to VASCEPA. Patients with such allergies should discontinue VASCEPA if any reactions occur. VASCEPA was associated with an increased risk (12% vs 10%) of bleeding in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The incidence of bleeding was greater in patients receiving concomitant antithrombotic medications, such as aspirin, clopidogrel or warfarin. Common adverse reactions in the cardiovascular outcomes trial (incidence ≥3% and ≥1% more frequent than placebo): musculoskeletal pain (4% vs 3%), peripheral edema (7% vs 5%), constipation (5% vs 4%), gout (4% vs 3%), and atrial fibrillation (5% vs 4%). Common adverse reactions in the hypertriglyceridemia trials (incidence >1% more frequent than placebo): arthralgia (2% vs 1%) and oropharyngeal pain (1% vs 0.3%). Adverse events may be reported by calling 1-855-VASCEPA or the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088. Patients receiving VASCEPA and concomitant anticoagulants and/or anti-platelet agents should be monitored for bleeding.

Tackling the Prior Authorization Problem with Innovative Technologies

None By: Christie Callahan, Chief Operating Officer, Arrive Health Prior authorization (PA) is a balancing act designed to manage utilization on the one hand and ensure that patients receive necessary, cost-effective treatments on the other. In today’s health care landscape, though, many providers view the traditional PA process as a necessary hurdle that often causes unnecessary care disruptions. PAs take physicians and their staff ~12 hours each week to complete, creating significant administrative burden. Moreover, according to a recent survey, 87% of physicians report that PAs led to higher utilization of health care resources and 24% say that PA has led to a serious adverse event for a patient in their care.[1]The integration of real-time prescription benefit (RTPB) tools with electronic prior authorization (ePA) systems presents a transformative opportunity, enabling providers and payers to fulfill the intended purpose of PA—managing medication use and costs without sacrificing optimized patient care. Role of Prior Authorization in Health careThe intent behind PA is to avoid unnecessary treatments, manage health care expenditures, and provide the most effective care based on scientific evidence and clinical guidelines. However, the traditional PA process is hampered by drawbacks, including the time and resources needed to complete paperwork and the high probability of treatment abandonment post-denial. On average, physicians complete 43 PAs per week and 27% report their PAs are often or always denied.1 Integrating RTPB and ePARTPB tools provide patient-specific prescription benefit information at the point of prescribing, offering instant visibility into drug coverage, utilization management scenarios, and out-of-pocket costs. This allows providers and patients to make informed decisions and expands the range of treatment options by offering covered or unrestricted formulary alternatives.When the PA process is technology enabled through ePA systems, providers submit electronic requests regarding PA requirements electronically and receive timely payer responses. This real-time process reduces unnecessary paperwork, phone calls, and faxes, thereby expediting approvals and minimizing treatment delays.When you combine RTPB and ePA, a new paradigm is possible. Providers no longer wait for a denied claim at the pharmacy to start a PA. Patients no longer wait days for PA resolution. Instead, RTPB allows the best medication choice at prescribing, immediately initiates an ePA when PA is required, and a PA decision is received in hours. All allowing the patient to pick up their medication on the same day. Realizing the Intent of Prior Authorization Through IntegrationThe integration of RTPB and ePA enables both providers and payers to fulfill the core objectives of prior authorization. Both actions occur seamlessly within electronic health record (EHR) systems, streamlining the workflow and reducing administrative burden.Formulary adherence and cost controlProviders view formulary alternatives and their associated costs, encouraging the selection of cost-effective therapies based on each patient’s unique insurance coverage. Timely access to careProviders make informed decisions in real time, reducing the likelihood of prescribing medications that require PA or will face PA denial, and when a PA is required, it is automatically started. Greater transparency, choice, and affordabilityPatients fully understand their treatment options at the point of care, avoiding surprises and delays at the pharmacy, and are informed throughout their treatment journey.By automating the PA process and spotlighting expanded access opportunities, RTPB and ePA integration frees up provider resources to focus on patient care, minimizes the administrative workload for payers, and accelerates patient access to medication. Optimizing for Replicable OutcomesBoth RTPB and ePA are tools that have been leveraged by providers and their staff for years. While driving initial efficiency gains, the full promise of these tools has not been fulfilled. PA is still highlighted as the #1 barrier to medication adherence with 88% of physicians noting that PA interferes with continuity of patient care. 1 In addition, a significant majority of physicians report that the number of PAs required for prescription medications (83%) and medical services (82%) has increased over the last 5 years.1Out-of-the box solutions are not enough. RTPB and ePA should not be used independently but should be paired together to ensure the best results. New technologies, like large language models, must also be applied to share information differently. These technological advances are not just possibilities but are a reality that offer unmatched benefits as compared to the current state.Enhancing prescribing accuracy and efficiencyConferring providers with access to real-time benefit information and PA criteria empowers providers to make evidence-based treatment decisions that are more likely to be approved by payers, reducing the incidence of denials and appeals. Decreasing the number of denials and appealsThe integration of RTPB and ePA puts clear, real-time guidance on coverage requirements at the fingertips of physicians, clarifying the PA process and preventing PA requests that do not meet coverage criteria. Supporting shared clinical decision-makingAccess at prescribing facilitates provider-patient communication, enabling shared decision-making that considers each patient's unique treatment preferences and financial realities. This collaboration strengthens the provider-patient relationship and encourages patients to be their own advocates, leading to greater satisfaction and reducing the likelihood of non-adherence. Key TakeawaysThe future of health care lies in widespread utilization of fit-for-purpose technologies that enhance the interactions among providers, payers, and patients. The right integration of RTPB tools and ePA systems can represent a leap forward in the efficiency and effectiveness of the PA process, providing a strong incentive to allow providers to operate at the top of their license. The coupling of these technologies helps realize the true intent of PA—ensuring that patients receive appropriate, cost-effective care without unnecessary delays. Ultimately, increased transparency can optimize prescribing behavior, leading to better outcomes for patients and more value-driven investment of health care resources.[1] American Medical Association. 2023 AMA prior authorization physician survey.

Latest Research Highlighting VASCEPA®/VAZKEPA® (icosapent ethyl) REDUCE-IT® Subgroup Data and New Mechanistic Insights into Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) to be Presented at European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress

DUBLIN, Ireland and BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Aug. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amarin Corporation plc (NASDAQ:AMRN) today announced new supported and/or funded subgroup data from the landmark REDUCE-IT® cardiovascular outcomes trial with VASCEPA®/VAZKEPA® (icosapent ethyl), as well as abstracts showcasing the mechanistic activity of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) that will be presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress in London, United Kingdom, August 30 – September 2, 2024. The accepted abstracts include a REDUCE-IT subgroup analysis to assess if baseline small dense low density lipoprotein cholesterol (sdLDL-C) modifies the effect of icosapent ethyl (IPE) on cardiovascular events. A second abstract examines the association of triglycerides with cardiovascular events in patients with initial or recurrent acute coronary syndrome (ACS). A third abstract estimates the number of ACS patients eligible for IPE in Spanish hospitals, and finally, a fourth abstract measures the effects of EPA on oxidation of Lp(a) under experimental conditions of high glucose. These data will be presented by a variety of international academic collaborators based on research or analyses supported by Amarin.

CH.B., SVP, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Global Medical Affairs, Amarin. “These data at ESC help to achieve that, as well as enhance clinical understanding around the prevalence of residual cardiovascular risk associated with elevated triglyceride levels and around the mechanism of action of IPE/EPA, as well as providing additional validation of the clinical utility and value of VASCEPA/VAZKEPA for patients most at-risk of a cardiovascular event.”About Amarin Amarin is an innovative pharmaceutical company leading a new paradigm in cardiovascular disease management. We are committed to increasing the scientific understanding of the cardiovascular risk that persists beyond traditional therapies and advancing the treatment of that risk for patients worldwide. Amarin has offices in Bridgewater, New Jersey in the United States, Dublin in Ireland, Zug in Switzerland, and other countries in Europe as well as commercial partners and suppliers around the world.   About REDUCE-IT®REDUCE-IT was a global cardiovascular outcomes study designed to evaluate the effect of VASCEPA in adult patients with LDL-C controlled to between 41-100 mg/dL (median baseline 75 mg/dL) by statin therapy and various cardiovascular risk factors including persistent elevated triglycerides between 135-499 mg/dL (median baseline 216 mg/dL) and either established cardiovascular disease (secondary prevention cohort) or diabetes mellitus and at least one other cardiovascular risk factor (primary prevention cohort). REDUCE-IT, conducted over seven years and completed in 2018, followed 8,179 patients at over 400 clinical sites in 11 countries with the largest number of sites located within the United States. REDUCE-IT was conducted based on a special protocol assessment agreement with FDA. The design of the REDUCE-IT study was published in March 2017 in Clinical Cardiology.[1] [2] These and other publications can be found in the Science section on the company’s website at www.amarincorp.com. About VASCEPA® (icosapent ethyl) CapsulesVASCEPA (icosapent ethyl) capsules are the first prescription treatment approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) comprised solely of the active ingredient, icosapent ethyl (IPE), a unique form of eicosapentaenoic acid. VASCEPA was launched in the United States in January 2020 as the first drug approved by the U.S. FDA for treatment of the studied high-risk patients with persistent cardiovascular risk despite being on statin therapy. VASCEPA was initially launched in the United States in 2013 based on the drug’s initial FDA approved indication for use as an adjunct therapy to diet to reduce triglyceride levels in adult patients with severe (≥500 mg/dL) hypertriglyceridemia. Since launch, VASCEPA has been prescribed more than ten million times. VASCEPA is covered by most major medical insurance plans. In addition to the United States, VASCEPA is approved and sold in Canada, Germany, Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates. In Europe, in March 2021 marketing authorization was granted to icosapent ethyl in the European Union for the reduction of risk of cardiovascular events in patients at high cardiovascular risk, under the brand name VAZKEPA. Indications and Limitation of Use (in the United States) VASCEPA is indicated: As an adjunct to maximally tolerated statin therapy to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary revascularization and unstable angina requiring hospitalization in adult patients with elevated triglyceride (TG) levels (≥ 150 mg/dL) and established cardiovascular disease ordiabetes mellitus and two or more additional risk factors for cardiovascular disease. As an adjunct to diet to reduce TG levels in adult patients with severe (≥ 500 mg/dL) hypertriglyceridemia. The effect of VASCEPA on the risk for pancreatitis in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia has not been determined. Important Safety Information VASCEPA is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity (e.g., anaphylactic reaction) to VASCEPA or any of its components.VASCEPA was associated with an increased risk (3% vs 2%) of atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter requiring hospitalization in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The incidence of atrial fibrillation was greater in patients with a previous history of atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.It is not known whether patients with allergies to fish and/or shellfish are at an increased risk of an allergic reaction to VASCEPA. Patients with such allergies should discontinue VASCEPA if any reactions occur.VASCEPA was associated with an increased risk (12% vs 10%) of bleeding in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The incidence of bleeding was greater in patients receiving concomitant antithrombotic medications, such as aspirin, clopidogrel or warfarin.Common adverse reactions in the cardiovascular outcomes trial (incidence ≥3% and ≥1% more frequent than placebo): musculoskeletal pain (4% vs 3%), peripheral edema (7% vs 5%), constipation (5% vs 4%), gout (4% vs 3%), and atrial fibrillation (5% vs 4%).Common adverse reactions in the hypertriglyceridemia trials (incidence >1% more frequent than placebo): arthralgia (2% vs 1%) and oropharyngeal pain (1% vs 0.3%).Adverse events may be reported by calling 1-855-VASCEPA or the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.Patients receiving VASCEPA and concomitant anticoagulants and/or anti-platelet agents should be monitored for bleeding.
