Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Main study parameters are the changes in mitochondrial function, lipid<br /><br>accumulation and cardiac function after Acipimox treatment, compared to the<br /><br>placebo treatment group. As secondary endpoints in changes insulin<br /><br>sensitivity, oxidative stress markers and the relationship with the tissue<br /><br>parameter lipid accumulation are considered.</p><br>
