Thread: Myostatin - any future potential?

leptin plays a role in myostatin regulation Quote: PLoS One. 2009 Sep 4;4(9):e6808. Leptin administration favors muscle mass accretion by decreasing FoxO3a and increasing PGC-1alpha in ob/ob mice. S?inz N, Rodr?guez A, Catal?n V, Becerril S, Ram?rez B, G?mez-Ambrosi J, Fr?hbeck G. Absence of leptin has been associated with reduced skeletal muscle mass in leptin-deficient ob/ob mice. The aim of our study was to examine the effect of leptin on...
