Statins as anti-inflammatory agents in atherogenesis: molecular mechanisms and lessons from the recent clinical trials.
Ample evidence exists in support of the potent anti-inflammatory properties of statins. In cell studies and animal models statins exert beneficial cardiovascular effects. By inhibiting intracellular isoprenoids formation, statins suppress vascular and myocardial inflammation, favorably modulate vasc...
