Test article: Kenrico SAP Sheet Special Edition CCi
Males and females, between 18 and 65 years of age, balanced for BMI (25.0-29.9, and 30.0-39.9), were enrolled in the study. Potential subjects reported to the study site, vital signs were measured and recorded. A ten to twelve-hour fasting blood sample was drawn for measurement.
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) carries cholesterol in the blood and around the body, for use by cells. It is commonly referred to as "bad cholesterol" due to the link between high LDL levels and cardiovascular disease.
Excess Triglycerides is linked to the occurence of coronary artery disease in some people. Elevated triglycerides may be a consequence of other disease, such as untreated diabetes mellitus. Like cholesterol, increases in triglyceride levels can be detected by plasma measurement. These measurement is made after an overnight fast.
