Statin-exposed liver cells impaired muscle formation in the lab

Experiments with lab-grown liver and muscle cells linked statin exposure to lower levels of insulin-like growth factor-1, a growth signal.Experiments with lab-grown liver and muscle cells linked statin exposure to lower levels of insulin-like growth factor-1, a growth signal.

Cardiolipin decline drives muscle fiber shifts in mice

Deleting cardiolipin synthase in young mice induced age-like fiber shifts, while restoring its expression reversed atrophy and rescued premature mortality.Deleting cardiolipin synthase in young mice induced age-like fiber shifts, while restoring its expression reversed atrophy and rescued premature mortality.
