Abstrakt: Analysis of metabolic changes in rat erythrocytes against the background of long-term simvastatin treatment revealed an increase in glycolysis metabolite concentrations and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and oppositely directed shifts in antioxidant defense enzyme activities. It was demonstrated that hypoxia and imbalance in the antioxidant enzyme system contribute to the development of side effects of statins.
