Abstract
Introduction - Extensive reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS, also reactive species) production is a mechanism involved in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) development.1 White blood cells (WBC) are a known source of reactive species.2 Its production is possibly decreased by statins, thereby reducing AAA growth rate.3 We investigated reactive species production in circulating WBC of AAA patients and the effect of statins on its production.
