| Main Objective: To determine the effects of 145 mg NFE fenofibrate treatment compare with placebo on insulin sensitivity and the ß-cell function by Botnia-clamp method in obese, non-diabetic patients with hypertriglyceridemia. ;Secondary Objective: To measure ADMA, adiponectin, homocysteine, CRP and VEGF1 levels during fenofibrate treatment.;Primary end point(s): Percent change from baseline in M-value (a measure of insulin sensitivity obtained during the euglycaemic clamp) and Disposition Index (a measure of insulin secretion obtained during the intravenous glucose tolerance test -IVGTT-) will be presented by treatment group. | — |
