Experimental: Simvastatin
Hyperlipidemic patients received simvastatin (40 mg/day) for 4 weeks, after they were administered combined therapy (simvastatin, 40 mg/day plus ezetimibe,10 mg/day) for an additional 4-week period.
Lipid profile, lipoprotein subfractions of LDL and HDL, inflammatory, oxidative stress and endothelial function parameters were evaluated.
