Effects of Vitamin D, Infliximab, and Leflunomide on Isolated Rat Striated Muscle with Electrical and Mechanical Stimuli in Statin-Induced Rhabdomyopathy

Vitamin D enhanced impulse conduction velocity and contraction response of striated muscle following electrical and mechanical stimulation in rhabdomyopathy. Monitoring vitamin D levels in dyslipidemic patients may serve as a predictive marker for adverse effects of statins. Providing these patients with vitamin D supplementation may improve statin intolerance.
