Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percent Change From Baseline in LDL-C During Each Treatment
The primary outcome variable will be the percent change from baseline in LDL-C during each treatment. Baseline will be considered the average of values obtained at weeks -1 and 0. On-treatment values will be the average of values collected at weeks 5 and 6 for phase 1, and the average of values collected at weeks 11 and 12 for phase 2.
Baseline (average of weeks -1 and 0) and after 5 or 6 weeks of intervention (average of weeks 5 and 6 for the first treatment phase; average of weeks 11 and 12 for the second treatment phase).
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Percent Changes in Other Lipid and Biomarker Levels
Baseline (average of weeks -1 and 0) and after 5 or 6 weeks of intervention (average of weeks 5 and 6 for the first treatment phase; average of weeks 11 and 12 for the second treatment phase).
Study Arms (2)

OTHERP-OM3 (4 g/d) for the first six weeks of treatment. Placebo (soy oil) for the second six weeks of treatment.
