New evidence links statins to calcium gate leakage in muscle cells via RyR1, offering a potential cause of SAMS.
Statins may keep the gate open, allowing calcium to leak and damage muscle tissue, explaining persistent pain and cramps.
Researchers tested statin-intolerant mice with Rycal drugs and stopped the calcium leakage, improving weakness.
Two future paths: redesign statins to avoid RyR1 binding or use Rycal therapies to curb SAMS.
About 40 million U.S. adults take statins, with roughly 10% experiencing SAMS and stopping use.
The study does not apply to all SAMS cases but could help identify at-risk people.
Findings published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation reinforce the new mechanism for SAMS.
