Repression of CB1 receptor gene expression caused by dysfunctional microRNAs contributes to simvastatin-induced skeletal muscle cell toxicity
2022-07-22
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> and Purpose Statins are the most common prescribed lipid-lowering agents worldwide. Although their use is generally safe, statins cause muscle disorders in 1 in 10.000 people. In this study, we investigated the role of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in statin-induced myotoxicity. Experimental Approach ECS activity was evaluated in murine C2C12 and primary human myoblasts exposed to simvasta...
