Atorvastatin might attenuate deleterious ventricular remodeling by affecting energy metabolism in cardiomyocytes. (A) The serum lactate levels and FFA concentrations. (B) Levels of ATP in myocardial tissue. The levels of ATP were detected by ELISA. (C) ATPase activities in the serum and the erythrocyte membrane. Na+-K+-ATPase activities, Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase activities, and erythrocyte membrane ATPase activities were detected by colorimetry. The data are presented as the means ± SD. **P < 0.01 vs. SO group; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 vs. MI group.
