PG - 378-87 LID - 10.1111/j.1472-8206.2010.00847.x [doi] AB - Pravastatin increases the plasma adiponectin level. We examined whether this is a statins' class effect or specific to pravastatin. Of 50 patients undergoing cardiac surgery for coronary artery disease (CAD, n = 36) and valvular heart disease (VHD, n = 14), 23 with CAD and serum LDL-cholesterol level >100 mg/dL were randomized to pravastatin at 10 mg/day (PRAVA, n = 12) or rosuvastatin at 2.5 mg/day (ROSUVA, n = 11) for 2 months, and the other 13 with CAD and LDL-cholesterol
