摘要: Male rabbits fed a 0.5% cholesterol diet for 8 wk were divided into three groups. Group 1 was hypercholesterolemic; group 2 regular an additional 12 wk; and 3 with simvastatin (5 mg x kg(-1) day(-1)). Simvastatin treatment reduced the atherosclerotic area total esterified concentrations in thoracic aorta. Tone-related basal nitric oxide (NO) release highest 3. Acetylcholine-induced, NO-dependent relaxation improved compared 2. Amount of endothelial synthase (eNOS) mRNA vessels increased 1, normal aorta, decreased 2; however, it did not decrease The amount O released from rabbits; 3, especially cells. Peroxynitrite determined by nitrotyrosine staining Additionally, arteries or without investigated. aorta simvastatin-treated showed increase tone-related NO eNOS release. Taken together, upregulation observed vivo process sufficient stabilization atheroma following simvastatin.
