Brief summary

This study will evaluate whether fasting/postprandial serum ApoB-48 levels are increased in diabetic participants compared to nondiabetic participants with the same range of serum LDL-C levels, and whether ApoB-48 levels can be used, along with LDL-C levels, to identify potential cardiovascular disease risk.

Interventions

OTHERTest Meal

During Visit 2, a test meal will be supplied by the Sponsor of approximately 944 kcal (57% fat, 31% carbohydrate, and 12% protein), and postprandial blood draws will be done at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 hours after the meal.

Outcome results

Primary

Postprandial Incremental Area Under the Curve From 0-6 Hours (iAUC)[0-6] of Apolipoprotein B-48 (ApoB-48)

ApoB-48 levels were measured at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 hours after the administration of the test meal.

Time frame: up to 6 hours after Test Meal

Population: Full-Analysis-Set (FAS) population defined as all participants who had valid postprandial ApoB-48 measurements for all specified time points to calculate iAUC.
