HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor statins are used for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. However, statins have adverse effects on skeletal muscles with unknown mechanism. We have reported previously that fluvastatin induced vacuolation and cell death in rat skeletal myofibers by depleting geranylgeranylpyrophosphate
