Atorvastatin action involves diminished recovery of hepatic HMG-CoA reductase activity

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1998
The effects of atorvastatin on the expression of the hepatic HMG-CoA reductase and LDL receptor genes were investigated in rats. Like the other statins, atorvastatin increased the rate of degradation and presumably cycling of the hepatic LDL receptor. In

Redemptive benefit of atorvastatin in the risk factors of coronary artery disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Cardiovascular disease, in particular coronary artery disease (CAD), is the principal cause of mortality in developed countries. The classical acute phase protein, C-reactive protein (CRP) is an exquisitely sensitive systemic marker of disease ...

Lactylation‐Driven YTHDC1 Alleviates MASLD by Suppressing PTPN22‐Mediated Dephosphorylation of NLRP3

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In MASLD, YTHDC1 undergoes increased lactylation and ubiquitination, reducing its expression. AARS1 mediates lactylation at lysine 565, while disrupted binding to LDHA further promotes lactylation, suppressing YTHDC1. This downregulation enhances PTPN22 mRNA stability, leading to NLRP3 dephosphorylation and activation, which exacerbates inflammation ...

Atorvastatin versus tetrahydrolipstatin in male patients with dyslipidemia: A systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacy & Pharmacognosy Research
Context: Atorvastatin is typically used in the treatment of dyslipidemia. However, the interest in using anti-obesity medications such as orlistat has grown rapidly as obesity is one of the variables associated with dyslipidemia.

Amyloid β Instigates Cardiac Neurotrophic Signaling Impairment, Driving Alzheimer's Associated Heart Disease

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This research identified cardiac amyloid pathology, neurotrophic factor depletion, and reduced myocardial nerve function in a transgenic model of cerebral amyloidosis (Tg2576), Aβ‐challenged cardiomyocytes, and in human AD heart tissue. These findings carry significant diagnostic and therapeutic implications, emphasizing the role of neuro‐signaling ...

A Multicenter, Randomized, Placebo‐Controlled Trial of Atorvastatin for the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis & Rheumatology, 2019
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with increased cardiovascular event (CVE) risk. The impact of statins in RA is not established. We assessed whether atorvastatin is superior to placebo for the primary prevention of CVEs in RA patients.

PROTAC‑Mediated HMGCR Depletion Reprograms Lipid Metabolism in Breast Cancer to Potentiate Photoimmunotherapy via Ferroptosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work introduces a study that identifies HMGCR as a novel target in TNBC and develops a light‐gated PROTAC nanomedicine. Upon irradiation, this agent selectively degrades HMGCR, reprogramming lipid metabolism to induce ferroptosis and potent antitumor immunity, thereby significantly enhancing photoimmunotherapy efficacy.

Effect of atorvastatin on high sensitivity c-reactive protein, pulmonary function, and quality of life in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - an open-labeled randomized control trial

open access: yesArchives of Medicine and Health Sciences, 2017
Objective: Beneficial effects of statins on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been projected in many retrospective studies, but prospective studies were lacking.

Prediction and validation of common targets in atherosclerosis and non-small cell lung cancer influenced by atorvastatin

open access: yesBMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies, 2023
Background Cardiovascular disease and cancer are the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Studies have shown that these two diseases may have some common risk factors.
