Özet
Background: In addition to their cholesterol-lowering effects, hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors ("statins") might have pleiotropic, nonlipid effects. Insulin resistance syndrome is known to increase the risk for cardiovascular disease. However, the effects of statins on insulin resistance are a subject of controversy.
