1 Simvastatin reduces expression of cytokines interleukin-6, interleukin-8, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in circulating monocytes from hypercholesterolemic patients. Simvastatin C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
2 METHODS AND RESULTS: In this study, we asked whether simvastatin can influence in vitro and in vivo production of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1. Simvastatin C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
3 Furthermore, simvastatin decreased the expression of IL-6, IL-8, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Simvastatin C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens
