Vascular dysfunction elicited by a cross talk between periaortic adipose tissue and the vascular wall is reversed by pioglitazone
ConclusionOur results support the fact that PVAT contributes to the development and progression of cardiovascular disease by underlying mechanisms elicited by “outside‐in” signaling. Treatment with pioglitazone may offer a new effect on the whole vessel wall, promoting the stability of advanced atherosclerotic plaques. (Source: Cardiovascular Therapeutics)

Change in ALT levels after administration of HMG ‐CoA reductase inhibitors to subjects with pretreatment levels three times the upper normal limit in clinical practice
ConclusionIt is not clear whether it is safe to prescribe statins to patients with ALT > 3‐times the UNL. Our study showed that prescription of statins in combination with HEPA did not cause deleterious effects, suggesting that ALT levels > 3‐times the UNL do not have harmful effects.This article is protected by copyright.

Doxycycline attenuates chronic intermittent hypoxia ‐induced atrial fibrosis in rats
ConclusionsCIH treatment induced significant atrial fibrosis in our rat model, which was attenuated by doxycycline.
