The uptake of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors with the lactone form, [14C] lovastatin and [14C] simvastatin, was slightly decreased to 65% of the control uptake (37 degrees C) at low temperature (4 degrees C) and was not affected by pretreatment of the BCEC with metabolic inhibitors (2,4-dinitrophenol and rotenone). [14C] Simvastatin acid (the lactone ring-opened form) was taken up in a markedly temperature- and concentration-dependent fashion, whereas the uptake of [14C] pravastatin was negligible.

Rats were pre-treated with simvastatin for 14 days, followed by a single unihemispheric (substantia nigra; SN) injection of rotenone, a mitochondrial complex I (Co-I) inhibitor.
The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitor, simvastatin, is used for lowering elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations.

Four or 18 h later, cell cholesterol levels, hydroxymethylglutaryl (HMG)-CoA reductase (HMGCR), the LDL receptor (LDL-R), and ABCA1/SR-B1 cholesterol transporters were assessed.
