LDL-c Level Variability and Trained Immunity

Summary

Statin treatment significantly reduces the incidence of cardiovascular events. However, cholesterol variability is associated with the risk of adverse events such as mortality, myocardial infarction, and stroke. The previous research found that the inflammatory activity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in mice fed with intermittent high-fat diet was significantly increased, and the cholesterol variability had an impact on the trained immunity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, thus aggravating the atherosclerosis in mice.

We plan to compare the differences in serum LDL-C levels after intermittent atorvastatin treatment and continuous atorvastatin treatment, and investigate the impact of this difference on the trained immunity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
