The Impact of Simvastatin on Lipidomic Markers of Cardiovascular Risk in Human Liver Cells Is Secondary to the Modulation of Intracellular Cholesterol

Statins are the first-line lipid-lowering therapy for reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. A plasma lipid ratio of two phospholipids, PI(36:2) and PC(18:0_20:4), was previously identified to explain 58% of the relative CVD risk reduction associated with pravastatin, independent of a change in...
