SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline and 8 weeks

Secondary outcome measurements will be changes in proteomics, lipoprotein particle number, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) functional test (i.e. efflux study) composition and size. Secondary outcome will measure the following: Small dense low density lipoprotein (sdLDL); Low-Density Lipoprotein Triglycerides (LDL-TG); Apolipoprotein E-containing high-density lipoprotein (ApoE-HDL); apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I); Apolipoprotein B (ApoB).
