Arm Label

2-Hydroxybenzylamine (2-HOBA)

Placebo

Arm Description

2-Hydroxybenzylamine (2-HOBA) 250 mg three tabs TID (po) for 6 weeks.

Placebo- three tabs TID (po) for 6 weeks.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

2-HOBA increases HDL cholesterol efflux capacity.
Change in HDL cholesterol efflux capacity will be measured by macrophage cholesterol efflux assay.

Secondary Outcome Measures

2-HOBA reduces modification of HDL by Isolevuglandin (Iso-LG).
Measurement of the Iso-LG-lysine lactam by mass spectrometry.
2-HOBA reduces modification of HDL by malondialdehyde (MDA).
Measurement of dilysyl-MDA cross-links by mass spectrometry.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The Investigators will test the hypothesis that 2-HOBA will reduce modification of HDL and LDL and improve HDL function in humans with heterozygous FH. The Investigators plan to first study subjects with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH), treating them with 750 mg of 2-HOBA or placebo every 8 hours for 6 weeks.
