Study Summary

There is evidence that the bacteria that naturally reside in the gut can influence how well we respond to medications. Therefore this study will look at how rosuvastatin, a medication used to lower cholesterol levels, may change the bacteria in the gut. Investigators will also examine how the gut bacteria will affect the ability of rosuvastatin to lower cholesterol levels. There will be 4 study visits over the course of about 16 weeks.The expected duration of the study is 2 years. Investigators plan to enroll 100 healthy volunteers during that time.

Primary Outcome

Change in relative abundance (8 weeks - baseline) = The percentage of total sequenced microbial reads assigned to a bacterial taxon (based on log 10 transformed values) at baseline were subtracted from the percentage of total sequenced microbial reads assigned to a taxon at 8 weeks. Negative values signify that the % of reads belonging to a particular species is decreasing.
