Role of microRNAs 221/222 on Statin Induced Nitric Oxide Release in Human Endothelial Cells

Background: Nitric oxide (NO) has been largely associated with cardiovascular protection through improvement of endothelial function. Recently, new evidence about modulation of NO release by microRNAs (miRs) has been reported, which could be involved with statin-dependent pleiotropic effects, includ...
