  2. Myostatin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myostatin

    In humans, the MSTN gene is located on the long (q) arm of chromosome 2 at position 32.2. [5] Myostatin (also known as growth differentiation factor 8, abbreviated GDF8) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MSTN gene. [6] Myostatin is a myokine that is produced and released by myocytes and acts on muscle cells to inhibit muscle growth. [7]

  3. Myostatin inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myostatin_inhibitor

    Myostatin inhibitors were generally able to increase lean body mass and reduce body fat in people with sarcopenia, but the extent to which this translated into functional improvements varied. [ 11 ] Bimagrumab showed effectiveness in increasing lean mass and reducing fat mass in obese individuals in a clinical trial.

  4. Activin type 2 receptors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activin_type_2_receptors

    Myostatin, a TGF-beta superfamily member, is a negative regulator of muscle growth. [1] Myostatin binds to ACVR2B and to a lesser extent ACVR2A. In mice that were ACVR2A −/− ( null ) mutants there was an increase in all four muscle groups studied ( pectoralis , triceps , quadriceps , and gastrocnemious / plantaris muscles). [ 1 ]

  5. Myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myostatin-related_muscle...

    Myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy is a rare genetic condition characterized by reduced body fat and increased skeletal muscle size. [1] Affected individuals have up to twice the usual amount of muscle mass in their bodies, but increases in muscle strength are not usually congruent. [ 2 ]

  6. How to preserve muscle mass on weight-loss drugs like Wegovy

    Currently, preclinical and clinical studies are also assessing drugs that prevent muscle loss by blocking the action of hormones, such as activin and myostatin, that inhibit muscle growth.

  7. 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.

  8. Belgian Blue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_Blue

    The Belgian Blue has a natural mutation in the myostatin gene which codes for the protein, myostatin ("myo" meaning muscle and "statin" meaning stop). [7] Myostatin is a protein that inhibits muscle development. This mutation also interferes with fat deposition, resulting in very lean meat. [7]
