|---|---|
| Main Objective: The aims of this protocol are to evaluate the effects of ezetimibe - in association with a statin vs. a statin alone - on postprandial lipemia, in particular on the number and composition of either intestinally derived and hepatic derived lipoprotein particles, in type 2 diabetic patients.;Secondary Objective: to evaluate the effects of ezetimibe - in association with a statin vs. a statin alone - on: - Fasting LDL cholesterol concentration. - Cholesterol/triglyceride ratio in postprandial chylomicrons and VLDL fractions. - Postprandial LDL size. - Concentration and Composition of different lipoprotein subclasses in the fasting condition.;Primary end point(s): Incremental AUC after a fat-rich meal of cholesterol concentration in chylomicron and VLDL fractions. | — |
