The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects induced by the cholesterol-reducing drug Lovastatin on the platelet proteome of healthy volunteers. Our results may allow to recognize the cell signalling modifications induced by Lovastatin. Furthermore, the current study aims to characterize the biological and inter-individual variation of platelet's proteome as measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Lastly, the exploration of changes induced by Lovastatin on the platelet's proteome may allow the discovery of modifications relative to the effects of statins on hemostasis and the lipid profile.

| Change in Signal Intensity Measured for Each Protein Identified by Mass Spectrometry in Blood Platelets Lysates | Proteins from total platelets lysates will be analyzed by TripleTOF 5600 LC-MS/MS (AB SCIEX). The intensity measured for each identified protein will be recorded in SWATH mode. Intensities measured for each protein before (baseline) and after treatment with lovastatin (at 6 weeks) will be recorded and compared. | Change from Baseline Protein Level at 6 Weeks |
