Brief description of study

We are looking for healthy volunteers to participate in a study to see if a particular type of medication (statin) has an impact on the kind of bacteria that are found in the gut, and if the gut bacteria affects how the body responds to the medication. If you participate in the study, you will be asked to take the medication or a placebo for 8 weeks. If you qualify, your participation would last about 4 months during which time there are 4 visits to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
