Wayne State University says promising early results have led the university to expand tests on a possible new drug treatment for high cholesterol. The university is working with Health Enhancement Products Inc. to test the material. Assistant professor Smiti Gupta says early tests failed to find any detectable liver inflammation among test subjects. Liver damage is a concern with some current drugs used by persons with high cholesterol.
