Özet
Introduction: Atorvastatin is a statin group medicine that reduces the level of serum cholesterol; thus it is used to treat hypercholesterolaemia. Independent of the cholesterol-lowering property of statins they also have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating effects. This study aimed to investigate the effect of atorvastatin on histological changes in the lungs in a murine model of chronic asthma.
