Inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis by squalene epoxidase inhibitor avoids apoptotic cell death in L6 myoblasts

The relationship between the inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis and occurrence of myopathy was studied in L6 myoblasts using two lines of cholesterol biosynthesis inhibitors, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor (simvastatin) and squalene epoxidase inhibitors (TU-2...
