Totally disgusting...These execs are pigs at the sty..They care nothing about their long suffering stock holders..I do not blame JT directly for the patent fiasco. But res ipsa locitur...
Could they have done a better job at the Reno trial..I say yes..Why was the Friedewald Equation not brought up to defend non obviousness..The Friedwald Equation was the best possible reason explaining why Vascepa (EPA) would not obviously be able to lower trigs and not raise LDL-C
Example. Friedewald Equ. LDL-C equals Total cholesterol minus HDL-C minus Trigs/5....LDL-C = TC - HDL-C -Trigs/5
This universally accepted formula...clearly shows by simple arithmetic that lowering trigs must increase LDL-C if TC and HDL-C remain constant..The argument that the Friedewald Equation does not hold for higher trig levels is nonsense..All that is required to get accurate values is to the adjust the denominator in the trig factor...And the corrections are wideley known..
