Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percent Change From Baseline in Low-density Lipoprotein (LDL) Apolipoprotein B-100 Fractional Catabolic Rate (FCR) [ Time Frame: Baseline (5 days prior to Day 1) and Day 50; plasma samples for fasting lipids were obtained at 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 60 min, as well as at 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 hours, and 2, 3, 4 and 5 days after D3-leucine administration. ]
    The fractional catabolic rate (the percentage of apolipoprotein B-100 in LDL which is replaced, transferred or lost per unit of time) was measured at Baseline and Day 50 over 5 consecutive days using the stable isotope tracer, D3-leucine. LDL particles were isolated from plasma by sequential ultracentrifugation, and isotopic enrichment was determined using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Mathematical modelling of the protein enrichment data was used to estimate protein catabolism.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percent Change From Baseline in LDL-C at Day 50 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Day 50 ]
    LDL-C was measured using ultrcentrifugation.

  2. Percent Change From Baseline in LDL Apolipoprotein B-100 Production Rate (PR) [ Time Frame: Baseline and Day 50 ]
    The production rate of apolipoprotein B-100 in LDL was measured at Baseline and Day 50 over 5 consecutive days using the stable isotope tracer, D3-leucine. LDL particles were isolated from plasma by sequential ultracentrifugation and isotopic enrichment was determined using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Mathematical modelling of the protein enrichment data was used to estimate the production rate.

  3. Percent Change From Baseline in Lipoprotein (a) Fractional Catabolic Rate (FCR) [ Time Frame: Baseline (5 days prior to Day 1) and Day 50; plasma samples for fasting lipids were obtained at 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 60 min, as well as at 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 hours, and 2, 3, 4 and 5 days after D3-leucine administration. ]
    The fractional catabolic rate (the percentage of lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) which is replaced, transferred or lost per unit of time) was measured at Baseline and Day 50 over 5 consecutive days using the stable isotope tracer, D3-leucine. Lp(a) was isolated from plasma using an immunoprecipitation method employing immunomagnetic beads and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Isotopic enrichment was determined using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Mathematical modelling of the protein enrichment data was used to estimate protein catabolism.

  4. Percent Change From Baseline in Lipoprotein(a) Production Rate (PR) [ Time Frame: Baseline and Day 50 ]
    The production rate of lipoprotein(a) was measured at Baseline and Day 50 over 5 consecutive days using the stable isotope tracer, D3-leucine. Lp(a) was isolated from plasma using an immunoprecipitation method employing immunomagnetic beads and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Isotopic enrichment was determined using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Mathematical modelling of the protein enrichment data was used to estimate protein catabolism.
