Summary
Brief summary
The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of Rimonabant 20mg in comparison to placebo, on HDL and VLDL lipoprotein kinetics, over a 12 months period.

Primary objectives:

* To assess effect of Rimonabant on HDL ApoA-I fractional catabolic rate (FCR).

Secondary objectives:

* To assess effect of Rimonabant on HDL ApoA-I production rate (PR) and on other lipoprotein kinetics.
* To assess effect of Rimonabant on lipids, glycemic and inflammatory parameters
* To assess effect of Rimonabant on body composition
* To assess safety of Rimonabant
