Simvastatin, atorvastatin, and pravastatin equally improve the hemodynamic status of diabetic rats

Table 3 Total cholesterol levels in plasma from diabetic and control rats after four weeks of statin treatment (10 mg/kg per day)

Condition	Cholesterol (mg/dL)
CT none	156.01 ± 7.32
CT + AV	143.69 ± 14.21
CT + SV	169.86 ± 12.78
CT + PV	155.53 ± 7.08
Diabetic none	248.68 ± 15.78a
Diabetic + AV	233.35 ± 18.44a
Diabetic + SV	234.40 ± 12.11a
Diabetic + PV	235.57 ± 18.20a

Values shown are the means ± SEM of an average of 8 animals per group.
