Description
Jingxin Zhang and seven co-authors test whether a Chinese herbal formula can ease statin linked muscle trouble in diabetic mice with heart disease. Statins guard the heart yet can burden muscle, a sore point for patients with type 2 diabetes. Their 2026 study breeds the disease pair in ApoE knockout mice and treats them for 90 days, comparing drug mixes with and without the formula, called QiShenYiQi dropping pills.
The formula group showed better sugar and fat profiles than the rival mixes. It also protected liver and skeletal muscle function best of all the arms. Gene, microbe, and metabolite scans tied the gains to steadier gut microbes and calmer swelling and cell death genes. The authors present the pills as a companion strategy that may soften statin side effects, pending human proof.
