The study, which was published in the American Journal of Physiology,
states that statins' "...impact on other biologic properties of stem
cells provides a novel explanation for their adverse clinical effects."
Specifically, the study states that such adverse effects include
advancing the "process of aging" and also notes that "...long-term use
of statins has been associated with adverse effects including myopathy,
neurological side effects and an increased risk of diabetes." Myopathy
refers to skeletal muscle weakness.
