SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At the end of the two 12-week interventions (Week 12 and 24)

Population: Data will never be analyzed because the mRNA expression of LDL receptor is sufficient.

We combined the results at the end of each ezetimibe phase from both sequence (average and standard deviation). We combined the results at the end of each placebo phase from both sequence (average and standard deviation).
