To study the relationship between serum endothelin levels and lipid-lowering therapy in patients with confirmed coronary atherosclerosis.</p></sec><sec><title>Material and methods</title><p>Material and methods. Patients (n=447; 320 men and 127 women; mean age 62.7±8.8 years) with coronary atherosclerosis, confirmed by coronary angiography, were included into the study. Serum endothelin levels were assessed by enzyme immunoassay (ELISA).</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. Negative correlation between the statins receiving and serum endothelin level was found in men (r=-0.11; p=0.04). Serum endothelin level was 1.8 times lower in men who received statins, compared with men without statin therapy. The relationship between statins receiving and serum endothelin level was not found in women with coronary atherosclerosis.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. The statins receiving in men with coronary atherosclerosis, in contrast to women, negatively correlated with serum endothelin level and is associated with its almost twofold reduction. Relationship between serum endothelin level and receiving other drugs was not found.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><sec><title>Цель</title><p>Цель. Изучить взаимосвязь между уровнем эндотелина и приемом гиполипидемических препаратов у пациентов с верифицированным поражением коронарных артерий.</p></sec><sec><title>Материал и методы</title><p>Материал и методы. В исследование было включено 447 пациентов (320 мужчин и 127 женщин) в возрасте 62,7±8,8 лет с атеросклеротическим поражением коронарных артерий, подтвержденным методом коронароангиографии. Уровень эндотелина в сыворотке крови измеряли методом иммуноферментного анализа (ELISA).</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Выявлена отрицательная корреляция между приемом статинов и уровнем эндотелина у мужчин (r=-0,11; p=0,04). У мужчин, принимающих статины (n=309), уровень эндотелина в 1,8 раз ниже по сравнению с мужчинами, не принимающими статины. У женщин с атеросклеротическим поражением коронарных артерий взаимосвязи между приемом статинов и уровнем эндотелина в сыворотке крови не выявлено.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. У мужчин с атеросклеротическим поражением коронарных артерий, в отличие от женщин, прием статинов отрицательно коррелирует с уровнем эндотелина и ассоциирован почти с двукратным его снижением. Взаимосвязи между концентрацией эндотелина и приемом других лекарственных препаратов не выявлено.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>атеросклероз</kwd><kwd>эндотелиальная дисфункция</kwd><kwd>эндотелин</kwd><kwd>статины</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>atherosclerosis</kwd><kwd>endothelial dysfunction</kwd><kwd>endothelin</kwd><kwd>statins</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Mudau M., Genis A., Lochner A., et al.
