Based on the information available, Lipitor, a medication used to treat high cholesterol, does not directly increase or decrease protein levels in the body. Lipitor is a statin, a type of drug that lowers cholesterol levels in the blood by reducing the production of cholesterol in the body and increasing the removal of low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "bad" cholesterol) from the bloodstream [1].

Protein levels in the body are primarily regulated by the body's own physiological processes, such as protein synthesis and degradation, rather than by cholesterol-lowering medications like Lipitor [2]. However, it's important to note that Lipitor may interact with other medications, which could potentially affect protein levels indirectly. Therefore, it's always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist for personalized advice regarding medication interactions and potential effects on protein levels [3].
