Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase-Independent Pleiotropic Effects of Pitavastatin Against Atherogenesis and Limb Ischemia in Mice.
CONCLUSION: Pitavastatin exerts eNOS-independent protective effects against atherogenesis and hind-limb ischemia in mice, which may occur via modifications on key molecules such as AMPK and diverse molecules.
