The Effect of Rosuvastatin on Adenosine Metabolism

September 22, 2008 updated by: Radboud University Medical Center

Rosuvastatin Augments Dipyridamole Induced Vasodilation by Increased Adenosine Receptor Stimulation.

The aim of this study is to show whether rosuvastatin influences adenosine metabolism. Therefore we will determine whether rosuvasatin increases dipyridamole-induced vasodilation by increased adenosine receptor stimulation.
