Effect of Spirulina platensis Versus Simvastatin on the Skeletal Muscles of Experimentally Induced Dyslipidemia: A Multitarget Approach to Muscle Ultrastructural and Cytomolecular Modulation
These molecular and ultrastructural benefits position <i>Spirulina platensis</i> as a promising, natural alternative to statins for managing dyslipidemia and preventing statin-induced myopathy. Future translational and clinical studies are warranted to further validate its efficacy and safety, supporting its broader application in metabolic and muscle-related disorders.
