Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To study the impact of 3 day exposure to atorvastatin 80mg on Annexin A5 targeting (acute and prolonged) after ischemic exercise in the non-dominant forearm. This to confirm results from our previous study (CMO 2006/274, ABR NL15624.091.06);Secondary Objective: workload during ischemic exercise, effect of 3-day treatment with atorvastatin 80mg daily on serum lipid levels;Primary end point(s): Percentage difference in radioactivity (counts/pixel) between experimental and control thenar muscle at 60 and 240 minutes after reperfusion.
