Treatment with statins are known to lower plasma and low-density liporprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels with resultant prevention and regression of atherosclerosis. It has been recently suggested that the action of the statins may also have a direct effect on other mechanisms involved;in the atherosclerotic plague formation. Thus, we investigated whether simvastatin could have an antioxidant effect on plasma lipoproteins. The rate of oxidation of LDL and high-density lipoproteins (HDL) was measured by conjugated diene formation with and without the addtion of increasing concentrations of simvastatin tin vitro) and in patients with and without treatment with simvastatin (in vivo). A strong correlation was observed between increasing simvastatin concentration and the lag phase a negative correlation was observed fdr maximal rate and maximum diene production in LDL samples (r(2) = +0.97, p
