| Main Objective: The selective cholesterol resorptiin inhibitor ezetimibe belongs to a new class of cholesterol lowering drugs. It is of interest how ezetimibe alone or in combination with statin may influence atherogenic dLDL in patients with type II diabetes mellitus. The primary objective of this study will be whether there is a change of the concentrations of apoB in dLDL from baseline ineach of the 3 treatment groups. The comparison between treatment groups is exploratory due to insufficient power to detect any change between treatments.;Secondary Objective: change of the concentrations of the following parameters: total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglyzerides;Primary end point(s): change of the concentration of apoB in dLDL from baseline in each of the 3 treatment groups | — |
