| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To assess the profile of GGT isoforms in patients with dislipidemiae.;Secondary Objective: 1) To assess the effect of lipid lowering treatment , in particular statins (rosuvastatin 10 mg, simvatatin 40 mg, atorvastatin 20 mg) or fibrates (gemfibrozil 900 mg), on GGT total and subfraction activity; 2) To find a novel effect of therapy with statins or fibrates, in addition to lipidic profile.;Primary end point(s): To assess the profile of GGT isoforms with FPLC methodology. | — |
