## Abstract Although lipid‐lowering therapy with 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins) decreases the progression of coronary artery and aortic valve calcification, the mechanism of action of these drugs to inhibit the calcification process remains unclear.

## Abstract We have shown previously that nitric‐oxide (NO) can induce apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and that the NO‐induced apoptosis is accompanied by an increase in arachidonic acid release via cytoplasmic Ca^2+^‐dependent phospholipase A~2~ (cPLA~2~).

## Abstract The cardiovascular benefits of statins, including atorvastatin (ATV), have been reported to be gender‐dependent, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. In this study we examine whether estrogen and its metabolite, 2‐methoxyestradiol (2ME), affect the rounding response of human vascula
