The discrepancy between MH incidence rate and PSE frequency limits the practical use of the halothane screening test for predicting ultimate meat quality. The liability of serum CPK levels to various external factors reduces the accuracy by which stress susceptibility and ultimate meat quality can be ...
In addition, statins side effects such as muscle pain, increase in blood sugar levels, liver damage and neurological effects can also guide statin treatment8,13,14,15. Statins also have a number of beneficial off-target effects, which include reduction of the rate of ventricular fibrillation in...
