• Research Progress on the Relationship between Atherosclerosis and Inflammation (2018, background): “The anti-inflammatory effect of statins may be partly through its lipid lowering effects, but there is substantial evidence that statins have direct anti-inflammatory effects on cells involved in the development and rupture of atherosclerotic plaques [66].”
• Dual role of matrix metalloproteinases (matrixins) in intimal thickening and atherosclerotic plaque rupture. (2005, background): “Furthermore, decreases in MMP levels closely parallel reduction of macrophage numbers in rabbit atherosclerotic plaques after cessation of cholesterol feeding or use of cholesterol-lowering drugs (2, 3).”
