Short-term statin discontinuation increases endothelial progenitor cells without inflammatory rebound in type 2 diabetic patients

Abstract Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by impaired vascular regeneration owing to reduced endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). While statins are known to increase EPCs, the effects of statin withdrawal on EPCs are unknown. Herein, we evaluated the effects of statin discontinuation on EPCs,...
