ABSTRACT: Background
The effect of statins on oxidative stress markers, such as malondialdehyde (MDA), is still a matter of debate. We sought to address this issue by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of published data on the effect of statin treatment on systemic MDA concentrations.Methods
A literature search was conducted on MEDLINE/PubMed, ISI Web of Sciences and Scopus. Data were pooled using a random-effects model.Results
A total of 35 studies assessing MDA concentrations before and after statin treatment in 1512 participants (mean age 53.6?years, 48.7% males) were identified. Extreme between-study heterogeneity was observed (I2?=?96.0%, p?p?p?=?0.036).Conclusions
This systematic review and meta-analysis showed that statin treatment significantly reduces systemic MDA concentrations. However, the results should be interpreted with caution because of extreme between-study heterogeneity, which warrants further intervention studies.
