Simvastatin effects on skeletal muscle: relation to decreased mitochondrial function and glucose intolerance

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articlepeer-review

Glucose tolerance and skeletal muscle coenzyme Q(10) (Q(10)) content, mitochondrial density, and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) capacity were measured in simvastatin-treated patients (n = 10) and in well-matched control subjects (n = 9).
