Induction of osteoblast differentiation indices by statins in MC3T3-E1 cells

Statins inhibit 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaryl‐coenzyme A (HMG‐CoA) reductase, which catalyzes conversion of HMG‐CoA to mevalonate, a rate‐limiting step in cholesterol synthesis. The present study was undertaken to understand the events of osteoblast differentiation induced by statins. Simvastatin at 10...
