Abstract
Animal models of overt statin myopathy reveal clear negative effects on muscle protein and carbohydrate metabolism, which appear to be linked to changes in Akt/FOXO signalling. Forcibly increasing muscle carbohydrate flux under these conditions by pharmacological means blocks statin myopathy. Human volunteer research has delivered less definitive mechanistic insight of the aetiology of statin-related metabolic dysregulation, with little evidence...
