Cyclic nucleotides and mitogen-activated protein kinases: regulation of simvastatin in platelet activation
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>3-Hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) have been widely used to reduce cardiovascular risk. These statins (i.e., simvastatin) may exert other effects besides from their cholesterol-lowering ac...
