Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Those who are not taking anti-hyperlipidemic medicine. Those who are not under insulin therapy.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Those who suffer from critical illness (liver diseases, kidney diseases, heart diseases, malignancies, etc.) Those who suffer from collagen diseases. Those who suffered from acute inflammatory diseases during the past 2 weeks. Those who are pregnant, breast-feeding, or have the probability of pregnancy.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
First, we measure the levels of several sterols with FPLC using human plasma samples. Then, we will analyze the association of these sterol values with the markers for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR, adiponectin levels, etc) and the markers for inflammation (high sensitive CRP, TNFa, bioactive phospholipids, etc).
