Experimental Experimental DesignDesign
To determine whether statins To determine whether statins inhibit IL-8 and VCAM production inhibit IL-8 and VCAM production in human aortic endothelial cells in human aortic endothelial cells (HAEC) in response to C-reactive (HAEC) in response to C-reactive protein (CRP), TNFa, and ox-LDL.protein (CRP), TNFa, and ox-LDL.
