Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incorporation of orally administered 13C3 cholesterol into plasma cholesterol72 hours

13C3 cholesterol, which is labeled with a stable isotope, will be administered orally. Blood samples will be taken every 4-6 hours for 72 hours for the measurement of stable isotopic enrichment in cholesterol using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The study has a dual purpose: to determine the optimum oral dose of isotope, and to determine the time of peak enrichment in plasma cholesterol.
