Synergistic effect of amlodipine and atorvastatin on cholesterol crystal formation inhibition and aortic endothelial cell nitric oxide release

摘要

The combination of the antihypertensive calcium channel blocker amlodipine and lipid-lowering agent atorvastatin inhibits free cholesterol crystallization in atherosclerotic-like membranes. In addition, treatment with a combination of amlodipine and atorvastatin results in a synergistic effect on the release of NO from aorta endothelial cells.
