2 Figure 1 Proposed Mechanism by which Reduced GATM Activity Reduces Statin Myopathy Risk Simvastatin reduced GATM transcriptional expression, and this effect was associated with a reduced incidence of statin myopathy (Mangravite et al., 2013). Reduced intramuscular Cr may protect against statin-induced myopathy. GATM, glycine amidinotransferase; CP, creatine phosphate; Cr, creatine.
