DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2018.101088
Abstract: Background While statins may have anti-inflammatory effects, anti-oxidative effects are controversial. We investigated if statin treatment is associated with differences in oxidatively generated nucleotide damage and chronic inflammation, and the relationship between nucleotide damage and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000023427
Abstract: Abstract Differences in the mechanism of action and potential pleiotropic effects between statins and fibrates would potentially drive a different effect on various laboratory parameters, but this remains controversial because of a paucity of reports… read more here.
