                    In-vitro Model Neoplastic mouse +SA mammary epithelial cells Healthy Rattus norvegicus
                    Experimental
                    Result(s)
Treatment with subeffective doses of simvastatin or gamma-tocotrienol alone had no effect, whereas combined treatment of these compounds resulted in a relatively large decrease in intracellular levels of phosphorylated (activated) MAPK, JNK, p38, and Akt.
                    Experiment 2 Reporting the Effect of This Combination [2]
                    Biological
                    Regulation
Inhibition Mevalonate pathway
                    In-vitro Model NCI-H2052 CVCL_1518 Pleural sarcomatoid mesothelioma Homo sapiens
NCI-H28 CVCL_1555 Pleural sarcomatoid mesothelioma Homo sapiens
NCI-H2452 CVCL_1553 Pleural biphasic mesothelioma Homo sapiens
MSTO-211H CVCL_1430 Pleural biphasic mesothelioma Homo sapiens
                    Experimental
                    Result(s)
Statin + Gamma-T3 combinations induced greater cell growth inhibition more than each single treatment via inhibition of mevalonate pathway, a well-known target of both Gamma-T3 and statins.
