Researchers using advanced imaging found that statins can attach to a crucial protein in muscle cells and force open a calcium channel, causing continuous calcium leakage that may damage muscle tissue. ScienceDaily
ScienceDailyScientists finally uncover why statins can cause muscle painScientists have uncovered a surprising reason why statins, the widely prescribed cholesterol-lowering drugs that help prevent heart attacks and strokes, can sometimes cause muscle pain, weakness, and even severe muscle damage. Using advanced imaging technology, researchers discovered that statins ca
Could this mechanism lead to statins that spare muscle?
