Short-term effect of atorvastatin on endothelial function in healthy offspring of parents with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Endothelial function is impaired in healthy subjects at risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). We investigated whether endothelial dysfunction can be normalized by statin therapy in this potentially predisposed population. Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) was measured in 56 first-degree relatives (FDRs)...
