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.

DNA damage differed by sex in mice with impaired DNA repair

Experiments in mice with impaired DNA repair identified a female-specific metabolic pathway; a dietary supplement restored muscle force and metabolic profiles in females.Experiments in mice with impaired DNA repair identified a female-specific metabolic pathway; a dietary supplement restored muscle force and metabolic profiles in females.
