“…In a clinical study, it has been reported that HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor treatment improves cerebral vasomotor reactivity in patients with cerebral small-vessel disease. Furthermore, the effects of statins on the activation of eNOS have been also revealed (Laufs et al, 2002;Kosmidou et al, 2007;Savoia et al, 2011;Zhou et al, 2013;Banach et al, 2014).
