What is the aggregate number of individuals participating in this experiment?
"Correct. According to information posted on clinicaltrials.gov, this experimental trial is actively seeking cohorts and was initially published on February 22nd 2018. The study needs 66 individuals from 2 separate locations for successful completion."
Could you elucidate other experiments that have explored the effects of High dose statin?
"The research into high dose statin began at OHSU Hospital in 2005 and has since completed 633 trials. Presently, 70 investigations are ongoing with Greenville, North carolina being a major source of these studies."
Does the age cutoff for this medical study include individuals under 80?
"Based on the criteria set forth by this particular medical trial, the participants must be between 35 and 65 years of age. Those younger than 18 or older than sixty-five will find fourteen trials specially designed for them while there are seventy-five options that accommodate those over the age of sixty-five."
Which demographics are best suited to engage in this research?
"This medical trail is searching for 66 individuals with mitochondrial diseases, between the ages of 35 and 65. Most importantly, applicants must meet a specific BMI range (25-43), maintain weight stability within 5% in the prior 3 months, as well as abstain from consuming Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) or aspirin 7 days before muscle biopsy."
Is this endeavor unprecedented in its field?

Since then, 633 further clinical trials have been successfully finished and documented."
In what circumstances is a high dose of statin typically administered?
"High dose statin therapy can be effective in mitigating the symptoms of lipidemias, postoperative thromboembolism, and anginal pain."
To what extent is consuming high levels of statin hazardous to one's health?
"Data confirms that high dose statin is safe and approved, resulting in an overall score of 3."
Are there any vacancies for volunteers in this research endeavor?
