Abstract：
:The antiatherosclerotic effect of statins has been attributed to their hypocholesterolemic action. We therefore evaluated the effect, in vitro, of the addition of the serum of patients taking fluvastatin on human smooth muscle cells in order to ascertain the effect of the drug on cell proliferation and apoptosis. We found that the addition of serum from patients treated with fluvastatin for 6 days caused a significant reduction in cell proliferation, increased cell apoptosis and reduced the B cell leukemia-2 (bcl-2) concentration. It is concluded that the induction of apoptosis by statins could be a supplementary mechanism in the prevention of atherosclerotic lesions in humans.
