Effects of Saikosaponin-A on Insulin Resistance in Obesity: Computational and Animal Experimental Study
In conclusion, our study suggests that SSA may serve as a therapeutic agent for addressing the metabolic complications associated with obesity. This potential therapeutic effect is attributed to the suppression of inflammatory cytokines and the upregulation of FGF21 and ATG7.PMID:38569867 | DOI:10.1248/cpb.c23-00782 (Source: Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin)

Obicetrapib as an Adjunct to Stable Statin Therapy in Japanese Subjects: Results from a Randomized Phase 2 Trial
CONCLUSIONS: All doses of obicetrapib taken as an adjunct to stable statin therapy significantly lowered atherogenic lipoprotein lipid parameters, showed near complete elimination of drug by 4 weeks, and were safe and well tolerated in a Japanese population, similar to previous studies of obicetrapib conducted in predominantly Caucasian participants.PMID:38569868 | DOI:10.5551/jat.64828 (Source: Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis)

Statin-induced immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy with concomitant increase of anti-HMGCR and anti-ACHR antibodies
We present a case of a patient with a severe phenotype of the disease that was found to have an increase in anti-HMGCR and anti-ACHR antibodies. A potential association between these antibodies have not been previously described. A 67-year-old male with hyperlipidemia, who was recently initiated on atorvastatin therapy, presented to the ED with progressive muscle weakness. Within a few days of admission, the patient developed complete flaccid paralysis and respiratory distress requiring intubation. The patient ’s CK was elevated to 24,000 and there was an increase of anti-HMGCR and anti-ACHR antibodies. Impressions from ...

Effect of Statin Treatment in Patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Network Meta-Analysis
ConclusionsSimvastatin 80 mg might be the most effective intervention in reducing DCI. Additionally, short-term therapy might provide more benefits. Further research with longer follow-up is warranted to validate the current findings in patients with aSAH who are at high risk of DCI. (Source: Neurocritical Care)

Role of C/EBP Homologous Protein in Vascular Stenosis After Carotid Artery Injury
In conclusion, CHOP plays a crucial role in endothelial injury, proliferation, and VSMCs migration during carotid artery injury, serving as a pivotal regulator in post-injury fibrous plaque formation and vascular remodeling. Statins emerge as protectors of endothelial cells, restraining VSMCs migration by modulating CHOP expression.PMID:38526708 | DOI:10.1007/s10528-024-10713-9 (Source: Biochemical Genetics)

Early statin exposure influences cardiac and skeletal development with implications for ion channel transcriptomes in zebrafish
In this study, we investigated the developmental effects of two widely used statins, atorvastatin (ATO) and pravastatin (PRA), on zebrafish offspring. For ATO, we administered doses classified as low (1 μM), medium (5 μM), and high (10 μM), while for PRA, the corresponding concentrations were set at low (18 μM), medium (180 μM), and high (270 μM). Our results showed significant reductions in birth and hatching rates, along with decreased body length in offspring at all ATO concentrations and medium to high PRA concentrations. A notable increase in malformation rates, especially in the spine and heart, was observed ac...
