A, B Healthy subjects between the ages of 22 and 45 years were administered 400 mg (~ 5 mg/kg) of caffeine (CF) following a 12 h fasting period. Plasma PCSK9 levels were measured before administration, as well as 2- and 4 -h following administration (n = 12 and n = 5, respectively). C PCSK9 levels were also measured in a group of individuals (n = 5) that were not administered CF to control for the additional 2 h of fasting time during the experiment. Differences between groups were determined using a paired two-tailed Student’s t-test.
