| 1 | Reduction of bFGF-induced smooth muscle cell proliferation and endothelin receptor mRNA expression by mevastatin and atorvastatin. | Atorvastatin | fibroblast growth factor 2 | Rattus norvegicus |
| 2 | The present study used aortic and cerebral vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) from rat to investigate whether atorvastatin and mevastatin affect basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-induced SMC proliferation and the mRNA expression of endothelin A (ET(A)) and endothelin B (ET(B)) receptors. | Atorvastatin | fibroblast growth factor 2 | Rattus norvegicus |

| 4 | In aortic SMC atorvastatin and mevastatin significantly inhibited bFGF-induced mRNA expression of endothelin ET(A) and ET(B) receptors (P<0.05). | Atorvastatin | fibroblast growth factor 2 | Rattus norvegicus |
