SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 12

Population: The safety arm is an open label study where brachial artery FMD was measured at baseline and week 8.

Brachial artery FMD is calculated as the percentage increase in brachial artery diameter with hyperemia (an increase in the quantity of blood flow to a body part) induced relative to the resting brachial artery diameter. Percentage of brachial artery diameter is measured as FMD diameter/basal diameter
