Hesperidin blocks varenicline-aggravated atherosclerotic plaque formation in apolipoprotein E knockout mice by downregulating net uptake of oxidized low-density lipoprotein in macrophages

Varenicline is a widely used and effective drug for smoking cessation. We have previously reported experimental evidence suggesting that varenicline increases the risk of cardiovascular events. Varenicline progresses atherosclerotic plaque formation in apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE KO) mice. This...
