1 Berberine combined with atorvastatin downregulates LOX-1 expression through the ET-1 receptor in monocyte/macrophages. Atorvastatin oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus
2 In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effect of berberine combined with atorvastatin on LOX-1 and explore the underlying molecular mechanism involved. Atorvastatin oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus
3 Furthermore, plasma ET-1 levels and LOX-1 expression were decreased by berberine combined with atorvastatin treatment, and the inhibitory effect on LOX-1 was impeded by an ET-1 receptor antagonist. Atorvastatin oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus
4 The results demonstrated that berberine combined with atorvastatin downregulates LOX-1 expression through ET-1 receptors in monocyte/macrophages in vitro and in vivo. Atorvastatin oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus
