Description

Atorvastatin exhibits anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, and cardioprotective activities. Atorvastatin acts as an inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, preventing cholesterol synthesis and decreasing levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL and increasing levels of HDL. In animal models of renal ischemia/perfusion, atorvastatin decreases expression of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) an hmgb1, decreasing oxidative stress and inflammation. Additionally, atorvastatin inhibits left ventricular hypertrophy and cardiac fibrosis and decreases expression of HSP47 in animal models of heart failure.
