...Jupiter TrialGrundy says he now has the evidence he's been waiting for. In a paper published in February in the journal Circulation, researchers analyzed data on women who took part in the Jupiter trial, a large, industry-funded study that sought to compare the effectiveness of the statin Crestor (rosuvastatin) with that of a placebo in healthy patients. The study, which ended in 2008, involved nearly 18,000 participants - including 6,801 women, more than in any previous statin trial - who had high levels of C-reactive protein, a risk factor for heart disease, but did not have high...
