An Experimental Medicine Study to Evaluate Serum Biomarkers of Lipid Metabolism

November 4, 2009 updated by: Bristol-Myers Squibb

An Experimental Medicine Study to Quantify PCSK9 Serum Concentrations and LDL Receptor Expression in Peripheral Blood Cells in Normal and Hypercholesterolemic Subjects

The purpose of this study is to validate novel assays for serum biomarkers of lipid metabolism (PCSK9 and LDL receptor) and to obtain information about how these biomarkers differ in subjects with normal or high cholesterol levels
