Cell-Permeable Succinate Rescues Mitochondrial Respiration in Cellular Models of Statin Toxicity

Statins are the cornerstone of lipid-lowering therapy. Although generally well tolerated, statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS) represent the main reason for treatment discontinuation. Mitochondrial dysfunction of complex I has been implicated in the pathophysiology of SAMS. The present study pro...
