Study of Endothelio- and Osteoprotective Effects of Combination of Rosuvastatin with L-Norvaline in Experiment by M. S. Sobolev, A. V. Faitelson, O. S. Gudyrev, D. S. R. Rajkumar, G. M. Dubrovin, A. V. Anikanov, N. U. Koklina, E. S. Chernomortseva

“…It was found that, after ovariectomy in rats, endothelial dysfunction of the vessels of the microcirculatory bed of bone tissue develops, leading to the appearance of osteoporosis, but the combination of the studied drugs prevents the decrease in the level of microcirculation in the bone tissue, thereby preventing the thinning of bone trabeculae and preventing the occurrence of microfractures in them.…”
