Impact of Statin Therapy on Adaptations to Aerobic Exercise
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
High cholesterol and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is currently prevented and treated with statin therapy. Statin use can cause muscle weakness, fatigue and/or pain, and these symptoms can increase with dose and duration of statin use. Statins may also change the ability to exercise.
This study is testing how different doses of a statin, Lipitor, affect muscle health and exercise. The doses that will be used in this study (20 mg/day or 80 mg/day) are typical for treating high cholesterol.
This study is expected to last about 14 weeks.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Oxygen Consumption
Time Frame: Change from Baseline to Week 12
|
Changes in cardiorespiratory fitness measured by oxygen consumption during increased exercise on a motorized treadmill and during lower intensity exercise sessions.
Oxygen consumption will be measured at peak and at various time points to determine fitness.
|
Change from Baseline to Week 12
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Mitochondrial respiratory function
Time Frame: Change from Baseline to Week 12
|
Mitochondrial respiration will be measured by commercially available O2k Oroboros device.
|
Change from Baseline to Week 12
|
Insulin sensitivity
Time Frame: Change from Baseline to Week 12
|
Insulin sensitivity will be measured by a standardized intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) in which glucose and insulin responses are monitored following glucose infusion.
|
Change from Baseline to Week 12
|
Citrate synthase activity
Time Frame: Change from Baseline to Week 12
|
This will be measured by an enzyme activity assay.
