The primary outcome measure of this study was HS-CRP, a marker of cardiac health related to inflammation. Secondary outcome measures were inflammatory cytokines, urine F2 isoprostane (a measure of lipid peroxidation) and anthropomorphic measures (weight, waist and hip measurements, BMI, and body fat percentage). Safety evaluations included CBC, CMP, EKG, urinalysis and platelet aggregation, as well as particular attention to potential gastrointestinal or cardiovascular related signals.
