Atorvastatin ameliorates lipid overload-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and myocardial hypertrophy by decreasing fatty acid oxidation through inactivation of the p-STAT3/CPT1 pathway

Although statins are shown to have cardiac pleiotropic effects independent of lowering cholesterol, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Mitochondrial dysfunction induced by increased fatty acid oxidation (FAO) is the culprit in the development of cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction. This study...
