Statins, the widely prescribed medication for lowering cholesterol level were recently asserted to decline the risk of severe bacterial infections such as pneumonia and sepsis. Researchers from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences claim that statins are beneficial as they activate the bacterial killing properties of white blood cells. It was discovered that phagocytes possibly turn out to be more effective after being exposed to statins.
