Study & Design

Study Type
Interventional
Study Design
Not specified
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Serum total and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) concentrations. All outcomes are measured four times during the study: prior run-in periods, at baseline (after run-in period), after 6 and 12 weeks intervention.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Insulin sensitivity as well as vascular function and inflammation markers (vascular tonicity by pulse-wave velocity, interleukin-6 [IL-6] and high sensitivity C-reactive protein [hsCRP]). All outcomes are measured four times during the study: prior run-in periods, at baseline (after run-in period), after 6 and 12 weeks intervention.
