  2. Myostatin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myostatin

    Myostatin is a myokine that is produced and released by myocytes and acts on muscle cells to inhibit muscle growth. [7] Myostatin is a secreted growth differentiation factor that is a member of the TGF beta protein family. [8] [9] Myostatin is assembled and produced in skeletal muscle before it is released into the blood stream. [10]

  3. Myokine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myokine

    The definition and use of the term myokine first occurred in 2003. [5] In 2008, the first myokine, myostatin, was identified. [4] [6] The gp130 receptor cytokine IL-6 (Interleukin 6) was the first myokine found to be secreted into the blood stream in response to muscle contractions.

  4. Myostatin inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myostatin_inhibitor

    Myostatin inhibitors are a class of drugs that work by blocking the effects of myostatin, which inhibits muscle growth. In animal models and limited human studies, myostatin inhibitors have increased muscle size. They are being developed to treat obesity, sarcopenia, muscular dystrophy, and other illnesses.

    Researchers have identified protein signatures in blood tests that can be used to detect or predict up to 67 diseases, using UK Biobank data in a cohort of nearly 42,000 participants.

  7. Follistatin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Follistatin

    Follistatin, also known as activin-bindings protein, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FST gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Follistatin is an autocrine glycoprotein that is expressed in nearly all tissues of higher animals.

  8. Myosatellite cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myosatellite_cell

    There is some research indicating that satellite cells are negatively regulated by a protein called myostatin. Increased levels of myostatin up-regulate a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor called p21 and thereby inhibit the differentiation of satellite cells.
