Atorvastatin improves plaque stability in ApoE-knockout mice by regulating chemokines and chemokine receptors.

Atorvastatin improves plaque stability in ApoE-knockout mice by regulating chemokines and chemokine receptors.

It is well documented that statins protect atherosclerotic patients from inflammatory changes and plaque instability in coronary arteries. However, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Using a previously established mouse model for vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque, we investigated th...
