Simvastatin was shown to cause insulin resistance in mice and impaired glucose uptake in C2C12 myotubes by diminishing the activation of AKT by mTORC2 and downstream effects on GSK3, impairing the translocation of GLUT4 and causing atrophy of C2C12 myotubes [17, 18]. Here, AKT1 is linked to Insulin resistance.
