Menopausal women include women with either a) spontaneous amenorrhea for at least 12 months, not induced by a medical condition such as anorexia nervosa and not taking medications during the amenorrhea that induced the amenorrhea [for example, oral contraceptives, hormones, gonadotropin releasing hormone, anti-estrogens, selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), or chemotherapy] or b) spontaneous amenorrhea for 6 to 12 months and a follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level greater than 40 milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/mL). or, 2) Women of child bearing potential who test negative for pregnancy at the time of enrollment based on a urine or serum pregnancy test and agree to use a reliable method of birth control during the study and for 2 weeks following the last dose of study drug
• Have given informed consent to participate in the study

Exclusion criteria

• At screening, are currently enrolled in, or discontinued within the last 30 days from, a clinical trial involving an investigational product or unapproved use of a drug or device (other than the investigational product used in this study), or concurrently enrolled in any other type of medical research judged not to be scientifically or medically compatible with this study
• Have participated within 90 days prior to screening in any clinical trials of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors (e.g., anacetrapib or dalcetrapib)
• Have completed or withdrawn from this study or have completed or withdrawn from any other study investigating LY2484595
• Are unable, unreliable, and/or unwilling to provide informed consent, make themselves available for the duration of the study, or will not abide by the procedures and study restrictions
• Have recent history of any clinically significant rash, history of any clinically severe drug-related rash, history of a chronic skin disorder (such as psoriasis, eczema or urticaria), history of significant skin hypersensitivities to household or cosmetic products, or allergens per the investigator, or presence of widespread tattoos or other skin condition that limits the assessment for rashes. Subjects who develop any rash during the Diet Lead-in/Washout Phase cannot be randomized
• Have or have had any clinical manifestation of coronary heart disease (CHD), such as stable or unstable angina, acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, or a coronary revascularization procedure including stent placement, symptomatic carotid artery disease or symptomatic peripheral arterial disease. Subjects with a diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm are excluded from this study
• Have systolic blood pressure (SBP) >140 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) >90 mm Hg as determined by the mean of 3 standardized measurements in the sitting position at randomization
• Have or have had documented hyperaldosteronism
• Have symptoms consistent with moderate or severe heart failure or are receiving treatment for symptomatic congestive heart failure (CHF) or known left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <35%. The absence of LVEF measurement does not prohibit entry into this study
• Have one of the following abnormalities: QTc prolongation [Bazett's corrected QT interval (QTcB)] of >450 msec in male subjects or >470 msec in female subjects, or abnormally wide QRS complexes (resulting from bundle branch blocks, intraventricular conduction delays, or pacemakers) or atrial fibrillation on screening electrocardiogram (ECG), previous history of QTc prolongation with another medication that required discontinuation, congenital long QT syndrome, previous history of ventricular tachycardia or unexplained syncope
• Have family history of long QT syndrome or sudden death likely secondary to ventricular arrhythmia
• Have active hepatobiliary disease, serologic evidence of past or active hepatitis B or C, or past or active gallbladder disease. Subjects who have been diagnosed with Gilbert syndrome or had a cholecystectomy greater than 90 days prior to screening can be included
• Have aspartate aminotransferase (AST/SGOT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT/SGPT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), or total bilirubin >1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)
• Have a history or presence of a chronic muscular or neuromuscular disease including prior rhabdomyolysis or drug-induced myopathy or an unexplained/documented elevation in creatine kinase (CK) ≥3 times the ULN
• Have a history of discontinuation from statin, change of statin, or a dose reduction of statin due to history of hypersensitivity, intolerance or adverse effect. Have a history of increased hepatic enzymes associated with use of an hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor (statin)
• Have a history of hypersensitivity or intolerance to drug preparations containing cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors, including but not limited to torcetrapib, anacetrapib, or dalcetrapib
• Have a hemoglobin A1c ≥8.0%; or use, plan to use, or are likely to require insulin during the course of the study. Diabetic subjects on an antidiabetic agent with lipid modifying effects must be on a stable dose for at least 30 days prior to screening

• Have hemoglobin <10 grams per deciliter (g/dL) in women and <11 g/dL in men
• Have current uncontrolled active inflammatory condition or infection which in the opinion of the investigator would influence a subject's ability to complete the study
• Have thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels outside normal reference range. Subjects who are clinically euthyroid, on stable thyroid replacement therapy for 60 days prior to screening, and are anticipated to remain on this dose throughout the trial period are acceptable exceptions to this criterion
• Are women who are lactating
• Have planned or are likely to require major surgery requiring anesthesia or hospitalization during the course of the study

• Are currently under suspicion of having cancer or have had a history of cancer in the past 2 years, with the exception of excised superficial lesions such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
• Have history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
• Have any other condition or abnormal laboratory value, which in the opinion of the investigator precludes the subject from providing informed consent
• Plan to use, are likely to require, or unwilling or unable to stop with adequate washout any prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) medication or health foods with the intent to treat serum lipids (LDL-C, HDL-C, triglycerides) including but not limited to these classes of drugs: statin, ezetimibe, bile acid sequestrant, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Subjects taking probucol, fibrate or nicotinic agents within 8 weeks before screening are excluded from the study
• Are currently using, plan to use, or are likely to require during the course of the study systemic corticosteroids; or anabolic agents other than stable doses of estrogen, estrogen/progestin, or testosterone replacement therapy
• Are currently using, plan to use, or are likely to require during the course of the study, more than the occasional use (i.e., once every other week) of stimulant laxatives (e.g., bisacodyl), osmotic laxatives (e.g., milk of magnesia), or castor oil

• Are currently using, have used within 60 days prior to screening, plan to use, or are likely to require during the course of the study, drugs or foods that are inducers (including rifampin and carbamazepine) or moderate or strong inhibitors of cytochrome P450 3A (including, ketoconazole, erythromycin and grapefruit juice); or strong inhibitors of the organic anion transporter polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1) transporter (including cyclosporine and rifampin). The drugs used in topical preparations are acceptable
