The latest research: these three statins can accurately remove vascular endothelial senescent cells
Statins have long been a lifesaver for patients with cardiovascular disease. The latest research has found that in addition to anti-inflammatory and endothelial nitric oxide synthesis, statins have a new effect: they can precisely remove senescent cells from vascular endothelial cells.
Researchers have found that lipophilic statins, such as simvastatin, atorvastatin, and rosuvastatin, can slow the aging process of vascular endothelial cells by acting on the lipid components of vascular endothelial cells and removing senescent cells.
At the same time, the study also found that there is not much difference in efficacy between domestic statins and imported statins, and the main difference is the price. Therefore, when choosing a statin, patients can choose according to their own financial situation.
However, there are also some things to be aware of when taking statin medications for a long time. First of all, you need to follow the doctor's guidance, take the medicine regularly, and do not stop the medicine at will. Secondly, relevant tests should be carried out regularly to ensure the efficacy and safety of the drug. In addition, it is necessary to avoid eating with grapefruit and vitamin E, as these foods may affect the metabolism and absorption of statin medications.
In conclusion, statins not only have anti-inflammatory and promote endothelial nitric oxide synthesis, but also can precisely remove senescent cells from vascular endothelial cells. When choosing statin drugs, patients can choose according to their own economic situation, but they need to pay attention to the time of taking the drug, regular testing, avoid eating with grapefruit and vitamin E, and do not stop the drug at will. The results of this study are of great significance for the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular diseases, and also provide patients with more treatment options.
