Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Statins are widely used for cardiovascular diseases, but statin-associated hepatotoxicity remains a concern. Apoptotic caspases, including caspase-8 (CASP8) and caspase-3 (CASP3), are crucial in hepatotoxicity and may affect statin-associated hepatotoxicity. We examined how these gene variants affect hepatotoxicity risk and protein expression in statin users. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively...
