Simvastatin-Induced Insulin Resistance May Be Linked to Decreased Lipid Uptake and Lipid Synthesis in Human Skeletal Muscle: the LIFESTAT Study

Table 2

Fat oxidation at rest and during exercise.

	Patients ()	Controls ()
	Rest
FOrest (g/min)	0.08 ± 0.01	0.06 ± 0.01
	Exercise
MFO (g/min)	0.30 ± 0.03	0.29 ± 0.04
FatMax (% of VO2MAX)	39 ± 2	39 ± 2

Data are mean ± SE. Abbreviations: FatMax, intensity where MFO occurs; FO, fat oxidation; MFO, maximal fat oxidation; VO_2max, maximal oxygen uptake.
