May inform mechanistic research on atorvastatin in hypertrophy; leaves open in vivo and clinical translation.
Atorvastatin attenuates angiotensin II-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in vitro, potentially through the activation of the PPAR-δ/β pathway.
Sheng et al. (2015) studied Cardiac hypertrophy. Atorvastatin vs. Angiotensin II stimulation alone was evaluated on Cardiomyocyte hypertrophy (myocyte surface area, 3H-leucine incorporation, and expression of ANP and BNP). Atorvastatin ameliorated Ang II-induced neonatal cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and inhibited cytokine expression, partly through activation of the PPAR-δ/β pathway.
