In Vivo Pravastatin Treatment Reverses Hypercholesterolemia Induced Mitochondria-Associated Membranes Contact Sites, Foam Cell Formation, and Phagocytosis in Macrophages

Statins are successful drugs used to treat hypercholesterolemia, a primary cause of atherosclerosis. In this work, we investigated how hypercholesterolemia and pravastatin treatment impact macrophage and mitochondria functions, the key cell involved in atherogenesis. By comparing bone marrow-derived...
