Effects of Salsalate on Prandial-Induced Vascular Inflammation After Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)

Summary

The overall study objectives are to examine whether: 1. Persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) having elevated body mass are at greater cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk for fasting and postprandial lipidemia, glycemia, and vascular inflammation than persons with SCI having 'normal' body mass, and 2. An inexpensive, low-risk, widely-available pharmacotherapy safely reduces CVD risks associated with fasting and postprandial lipidemia, glycemia, and vascular inflammation.
