Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Improvement in endothelium-dependent vasodilation of the microcirculation of the skin and nerve axon-related reflex vasodilation. [4 weeks]
- Improvement in endothelium-dependent vasodilation of the brachial artery (flow mediated dilation) [4 weeks]
- Improvement in selective measurements of oxidative stress, endothelial activity and vascular abnormalities which will correlate with PKC activity in the peripheral monocytes. [4 weeks]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Safety of ruboxistaurin [4 weeks]
