No publication linked

No peer-reviewed publication reporting this trial's results has been linked yet. This can indicate results are unpublished — a known publication-bias signal. We re-check periodically.

Summary

The purpose of this study is: * To identify the common factor for L5 prevalence in patients with Metabolic Syndrome. * To determine whether Ezetimibe, Simvastatin, and Vytorin can correct the L5- promoting factor and reduce L5 in Metabolic Syndrome patients.
