The antioxidant effects of statins

Coronary Artery Disease
Jean DavignonR Preston Mason

Abstract

Oxidative stress contributes to the initiation and the development of atherosclerotic plaques and adversely influences myocardial integrity. Statins interfere with oxidation in several ways that may contribute to reducing the atherogenic process. In addition to direct antioxidant effects, statins reduce circulating oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDL) and inhibit their uptake by macrophages. They also reduce circulating markers of oxidation such as F2-isoprostane and nitrotyrosine. Statins inhibit oxidant enzymes activity such as that of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAD[P]H) oxidase and myeloperoxidase and up-regulate the activity of antioxidant enzymes such as catalase and paraoxonase. They reduce endothelial dysfunction mainly by their ability to enhance endothelial nitric oxide bioavailability, which is achieved by several mechanisms. The antioxidant properties of statins extend to organ protection especially the myocardium and the lungs.
