Abstract
⺠Statins are known to reduce plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations. ⺠We aim to define the effects of atorvastatin 80 mg/day vs placebo on CRP kinetics. ⺠Atorvastatin lower plasma CRP levels by substantially increasing CRP catabolism. ⺠There was no significant effect of atorvastatin on CRP production rate.
