First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This small study looks at why some people on statins don't get the full benefits of exercise. Five overweight or obese adults taking high-dose atorvastatin will do supervised exercise for 6 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in fitness and link them to each person's genetic variations. The goal is to understand, not treat, so no direct health benefit is expected for participants.
