Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The effect of simvastatin on DNA damage in hypercholesterolemic patients was investigated, and the relationship between the C242T polymorphism of the NADPH oxidase p22phox gene and the antioxidant effects of simvastatin was examined. METHODS: Simvastatin (20-40 mg /day) was administered for 8 weeks in 72 hypercholesterolemic patients. DNA damage in lymphocytes was quantified using single-cell gel...
