EFFECT OF PHYSICAL EXERCISE AND STATINS ON THE MUSCLE FUNCTION IN ANIMALS WITH DYSLIPIDEMIA.

The article reports on the effects of physical exercise and statins on the muscular function of 80 Winstar rats with dyslipidemia. Subjects were fed with control diets (hyperchlolesterolemic and commercial) and statins (simvastatin, fluvastatin) and either with or without physical exercise. After a post-mortem histological analysis, the authors conclude that physical exercise and statins variably alter the morphology of the soleus muscle of mice.
