摘要: We induced experimental myopathy in rabbits by giving simvastatin, a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor. After oral administration of simvastatin (50 mg/kg/day) for 2 weeks, serum CK was elevated 5 7 rabbits; degenerating or necrotic fibers were seen 3 rabbits. Using electromyography, myotonic discharges found the examined. The combination discharges, necrosis and raised levels suggests that lesions muscle surface membrane.
