    • Forty male cynomolgus monkeys were fed a nutritionally complete diet containing butter and 0.5% cholesterol for 18 months to ensure development of atherosclerosis. Timefurone was administered daily at 10 mg/kg/day. Lipoprotein cholesterol parameters were measured every 4 weeks and clinical chemistries were done at approximately 8-week intervals. Low density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C] was significantly reduced 24-45% at all time periods and total-C was lowered 17-23% at weeks 12, 16, and 24… CONTINUE READING
