Effect of atorvastatin on phagocytosis of the blue mussels, Mytilus edulis

Increasing concentration of biologically active pharmaceutical compounds can affect marine organisms. The bioavailability and environmental stability of these compounds make them potential threat to these organisms, specially the sessile organisms. We have examined the effects of atorvastatin, a globally prescribed drug, on the blue mussels – Mytilus edulis. In this data set, we presents the effect of atorvastatin (ATO) on phagocytosis of Mytilus edulis.

具有生物活性的药用化合物浓度持续升高，可对海洋生物造成影响。此类化合物的生物利用度与环境稳定性，使其对这些生物——尤其是固着生物——构成潜在威胁。本研究针对全球广泛处方的阿托伐他汀（atorvastatin，缩写为ATO）对蓝贻贝（Mytilus edulis）的影响开展了考察。本数据集呈现了阿托伐他汀（ATO）对蓝贻贝（Mytilus edulis）吞噬作用的影响。
