  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Cholesterol metabolism effect [32 hours]

      Effect of these treatments on markers for cholesterol metabolism, namely lathosterol and campesterol, measured as change from baseline concentration (mg/mmol) per unit time.

    2. Bile acid metabolism effect [32 hours]

      Effect of these treatments on markers for bile acid metabolism, namely C4; measured as change from baseline concentration (mg/mmol) per unit time.

    3. Bile acid metabolism effect [32 hours]

      Effect of these treatments on markers for cholesterol and bile acid metabolism, namely bile acids; measured as change from baseline concentration (mikromol/ml) per unit time.
