研究概览
简要总结
The primary purpose of our research will be to evaluate if, in subjects with a low-moderate cardiovascular risk (CV risk>1% but < 5%) evidenced by sub-optimal cholesterol levels as per ESC/EAS guidelines (LDL cholesterol >115 mg/dL, < 190 mg/dL) supplementation with a food supplement is able to significantly influence plasma lipid levels. Furthermore, the systemic activation status of the inflammatory cascade and the arterial wall stiffness will be investigated.
