Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
High-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) Concentration at BaselineBaseline

Blood level of HDL-C was measured following a 12-hours fasting.

High-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) Concentration at Week 6Week 6

Blood level of HDL-C was measured following a 12-hours fasting.

Cholesterol Ester Production Rate at BaselineBaseline

Cholesterol ester production rate was calculated using a 3-pool model with a simulation, analysis and modeling (SAAM II) program.

Cholesterol Ester Production Rate at Week 6Week 6

Cholesterol ester production rate was calculated using a 3-pool model with a simulation, analysis and modeling (SAAM II) program.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) and Total Cholesterol ConcentrationBaseline, Week 6

Blood level of LDL-C and total cholesterol (TC) was measured following a 12-hours fasting.

Cholesterol Ester Fractional Catabolic RateBaseline, Week 6

Cholesterol ester fractional catabolic rate were calculated using a 3-pool model with a simulation, analysis and modeling (SAAM II) program. Fractional catabolic rate was the percentage of cholesterol ester which was replaced, transferred or lost per unit of time.

Low-density Lipoprotein Associated With Apolipoprotein B (LDL-apoB) Production RateBaseline, Week 6

LDL-apoB production rate were calculated using a 3-pool model with a simulation, analysis and modeling (SAAM II) program.

Low-density Lipoprotein Associated With Apolipoprotein B (LDL-apoB) Fractional Catabolic RateBaseline, Week 6

Fractional catabolic rate for LDL ApoB were calculated using the 13 carbon (13C) isotopic enrichment of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) as the limiting value. Isotope 13C in plasma was measured using Gas Chromatography-Combustion-Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (GC-C-IRMS).

High-density Lipoprotein Associated With Apolipoprotein A1 (HDL-apoA1) Production RateBaseline, Week 6

HDL-apoA1 production rate were calculated using a 3-pool model with a simulation, analysis and modeling (SAAM II) program.

High-density Lipoprotein Associated With Apolipoprotein A1 (HDL-apoA1) Fractional Catabolic RateBaseline, Week 6

Fractional catabolic rate for HDL-apoA1 were calculated using the 13C isotopic enrichment of VLDL as the limiting value. Isotope 13C in plasma was measured using GC-C-IRMS.

Cholesterol Efflux RateBaseline, Week 6

Cholesterol efflux rate was measured using isotope dilution method in which rate of appearance of isotope 13C-free cholesterol in plasma representing whole body efflux from tissues was assessed. Isotope 13C in plasma was measured using GC-C-IRMS.
