HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitor, Simvastatin Is Effective in Decreasing Degree of Myocarditis by Inhibiting Metalloproteinases Activation
- Medicine, BiologyBiomolecules
- 2021
The cardioprotective effects of simvastatin in the acute phase of EAM are, at least in part, due to its ability to decrease MMP-9 activity and subsequent decline in myofilaments degradation and suppression of inflammation.

B10 cells decrease fibrosis progression following cardiac injury partially by IL‐10 production and regulating hyaluronan secretion
- Biology, MedicineJournal of leukocyte biology
- 2021
The frequency of B10 cells was significantly increased, and they participated in the regression of fibrosis via IL‐10, particularly by accelerating hyaluronan secretion and inhibiting collagen deposition, providing new evidence suggesting that B 10 cells exert antifibrotic effects by regulating the extracellular matrix composition during cardiac injury.

Statins have anti-inflammatory properties that are clinically important in lowering cardiovascular risk, and it is probable, but not definitely proven, that some of the benefits of statins are due to their nonlipid effects.
Advances in the understanding of myocarditis.
