Atorvastatin Decreased Circulating RANTES Levels in Impaired Glucose Tolerance Patients with Hypercholesterolemia: An Interventional Study

Abstract: IntroductionImpaired glucose tolerance (IGT) is the major cause of the development of both type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis. Regulated upon activation, normal T cells expressed and secreted (RANTES), a proinflammatory chemokine, is associated with atherosclerosis. We investigated the effect of atorvastatin on circulating RANTES in IGT patients with hypercholesterolemia.MethodsThis study evaluated cross-sectional and interventional studies of 32 IGT patients with hypercholesterolemia (group A) and 32 control… Show more

“…Atorvastatin (ATV) is a commonly used drug for primary hypercholesterolemia. ATV plays a therapeutic role in hypercholesterolemia by reducing the increased total cholesterol (TC), LDL cholesterol (LDL-c), Apolipoprotein B-100 (Apo B), and triglyceride (TG) [10]. At present, more and more studies have focused on the pharmacological effects of ATV in cardiovascular system.…”
