abstract = "Our study evaluated the effect of creatine and homoarginine in AGAT- and GAMT-deficient mice after simvastatin exposure. Balestrino and Adriano suggest that guanidinoacetate might explain the difference between AGAT- and GAMT-deficient mice in simvastatin-induced myopathy. We agree with Balestrino and Adriano that our data shows that (1) creatine possesses a protective potential to ameliorate statin-induced myopathy in humans and mice and (2) homoarginine did not reveal a beneficial effect in statin-induced myopathy. Third, we agree that guanidinoacetate can be phosphorylated and partially compensate for phosphocreatine. In our study, simvastatin-induced damage showed a trend to be less pronounced in GAMT-deficient mice compared with wildtype mice. Therefore, (phospo) guanidinoacetate cannot completely explain the milder phenotype of GAMT-deficient mice, but we agree that it might contribute to ameliorate statin-induced myopathy in GAMT-deficient mice compared with AGAT-deficient mice. Finally, we agree with Balestino and Adriano that AGAT metabolites should further be evaluated as potential treatments in statin-induced myopathy.",
