From: In vivo effect of statins on the expression of the HIV co-receptors CCR5 and CXCR4
Transcription levels of CXCR4 and CCR5 genes during lovastatin or atorvastatin treatment. Transcription levels of CXCR4 and CCR5 in purified CD4+ T cells of adult HIV negative volunteers, during 45 days of oral administration of atorvastatin (20 mg/day; n = 9) or lovastatin (40 mg/day; n = 10); the measurements were performed by real time PCR at baseline and on days 7, 30 and 45. Statistical comparisons were performed using the One Way Anova test for paired samples.
