1 Simvastatin alone or combined with ramipril significantly changed lipoproteins, and improved the percent flow-mediated dilator response to hyperemia relative to baseline measurements by 33 +/- 6% and by 50 +/- 14%, respectively (both P <0.001) and reduced plasma levels of nitrate relative to baseline measurements (P=0.413 and 0.037, respectively), the plasma MDA levels relative to baseline measurements by 8 +/- 8% and by 18 +/- 9% (P=0.039 and P <0.001, respectively) and MCP-1 relative to baseline measurements by 7 +/- 4% and by 13 +/- 3%, respectively (P=0.019 and P <0.001, respectively), and CRP from 0.22 to 0.14 mg/dl and from 0.22 to 0.15 mg/dl, respectively (P=0.124 and 0.002, respectively), and PAI-1 antigen relative to baseline measurements (P=0.690 and 0.018, respectively).

2 However, simvastatin combined with ramipril changed to greater but statistically insignificant extent the percent flow-mediated dilator response to hyperemia and plasma levels of nitrate, MDA, MCP-1, and PAI-1 antigen than simvastatin alone. Simvastatin C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 Homo sapiens
