Brief Summary: Agents that increase HDL-C via reverse cholesterol transport could provide a new therapeutic option for the prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease The investigators propose to investigate the effects of LY518674 on components that may likely affect atherogenesis in patients with the metabolic syndrome including HDL-C metabolism and reverse cholesterol transport pathways the inflammatory response and oxidative stress in human subjects

As an agonist of the nuclear peroxisome proliferator activated receptor PPAR alpha LY518674 may affect the transcription of genes that encode various proteins involved in atherogenesis This study will explore the consequences of altered transcription such as changes in messenger ribonucleic acid mRNA and protein levels as well as protein activity
Detailed Description: Study Objectives

I Primary Objective

To determine the effects of LY518674 on the Apo A-I production rate calculated from the fractional synthetic rate and the fractional catabolic rate in subjects with the metabolic syndrome and low HDL-C

II Secondary Objectives

To determine the effects of LY518674 on markers of reverse cholesterol transport by analyzing changes in serum cholesterol efflux capacity an in vitro cell-based assay
To determine the effects of LY518674 on the activity of lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase LCAT cholesterol ester transfer protein CETP lipoprotein lipase hepatic lipase and endothelial lipase
To determine the effects of LY518674 on plasma lipids lipid subfractions free fatty acids and the free fatty acid metabolite beta-OH butyrate
To determine the effects of LY518674 on high-density lipoprotein HDL low-density lipoprotein LDL and very low-density lipoprotein VLDL particle size using nuclear magnetic resonance NMR
To determine the effects of LY518674 on Apo A-II and Apo B-100 kinetics
To determine the effects of LY518674 on hsCRP
To determine the safety and tolerability of LY518674

Study Design

Study H8D-MC-EMBG is a single site randomized placebo-controlled double-blind parallel study A minimum of 40 subjects with low HDL cholesterol and metabolic syndrome will be randomized to receive double-blind administration of LY518674 100 mcgday or placebo for 8 weeks There is a safety visit every 2 weeks after treatment has been initiated resulting in 7 visits over 10 weeks There are 2 inpatient visits at zero and eight weeks
