Omentin-1 and vaspin serum levels in patients with pre-clinical carotid atherosclerosis and the effect of statin therapy on them.

Notably, atorvastatin administration significantly increased both adipokines, but the underlying mechanisms and the clinical impact of those changes requires further investigation.
