studies on HFD fed rats (Gauthier et al., 2006,
Yang et al., 2010). These results suggest that
atorvastatin may have beneficial effects on
hyperlipidemia induced by HFD. These results
demonstrate that atorvastatin has strong effects on
obesity-related hyperlipidemia (Dullaart, 1995 and
Erciyas et al., 2004). However, the elevated levels
of serum triglycerides in HFD rats were
significantly decreased after treatment with
atorvastatin. This is in agreement with the
evidence that atorvastatin decrease the high levels
of TG. It has been suggested that atorvastatin have
acute antihyperlipidemic properties, inhibiting
inflammatory pathways and promoting fatty acids
oxidation.
