Journal ArticleDOI
Oxygen Free Radical Release in Human Failing Myocardium Is Associated With Increased Activity of Rac1-GTPase and Represents a Target for Statin Treatment
Christoph Maack,Tanja Kartes,Heiko Kilter,Hans-Joachim Schäfers,Georg Nickenig,Michael Böhm,Ulrich Laufs +6 more
TL;DR: Failing myocardium of patients with DCM and ICM is characterized by upregulation of NADPH oxidase–mediated ROS release associated with increased rac1 activity, which suggests that extrahepatic effects of statins can be observed in humans and may be beneficial for patients with chronic heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
