Abstract Myopathy is the major adverse effect of statins. However, the underlying mechanism of statininduced skeletal muscle atrophy, one of statin-induced myopathy, remains to be elucidated. Myostatin is a negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass and functions. Whether myostatin is involved in statin-induced skeletal muscle atrophy remains unknown. In this study, we uncovered that simvastatin administration increased Lai Wang and Zu-Guo Zheng contributed equally to this work.
