Increased expression and catalytic activity of prostacyclin synthase after simvastatin application to human umbilical vein endothelial cells
In addition to lowering blood cholesterol levels, statins are known to exert antiplatelet effects. One of the key factors contributing to the antiplatelet effects of statins includes the upregulation of prostacyclin (PGI2) level. The present study was undertaken to determine the effects of statins o...
