15-Lipoxygenase-1 Is Involved in the Effects of Atorvastatin on Endothelial Dysfunction by Peng Zhang, Xin Xing, Chunxiao Hu, Hui Yu, Qian Dong, Guanglei Chang, Shu Qin, Jian Liu, Dongying Zhang

“…Immunohistochemistry and western blotting showed that atorvastatin increased the expression of cellular adhesion molecules (CAMs) but decreased the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS); these effects of atorvastatin were blocked by ALOX15 overexpression. In human umbilical venous endothelial cells (HUVECs), silencing of ALOX15 enhanced the effects of atorvastatin on endothelial function. …”
