Summary
The overall study objectives are to examine whether:
1. Persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) having elevated body mass are at greater
cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk for fasting and postprandial lipidemia, glycemia, and
vascular inflammation than persons with SCI having 'normal' body mass, and
2. An inexpensive, low-risk, widely-available pharmacotherapy safely reduces CVD risks
associated with fasting and postprandial lipidemia, glycemia, and vascular inflammation.
