Abstract
The combination of the antihypertensive calcium channel blocker amlodipine and lipid-lowering agent atorvastatin inhibits free cholesterol crystallization in atherosclerotic-like membranes. In addition, treatment with a combination of amlodipine and atorvastatin results in a synergistic effect on the release of NO from rabbit aorta endothelial cells.
