Pharmacological myostatin inhibitors can therefore be considered exercise mimetics. [7] Creatine, a popular workout supplement, has shown some myostatin inhibitory effects in preclinical studies. [6] Many drugs in development as myostatin inhibitors also reduce the activity of related proteins such as GDF11, activins, and bone morphogenetic ...
Myostatin is a protein that inhibits the growth of muscle tissue, stamulumab is a recombinant human antibody designed to bind to and inhibit the activity of myostatin. [ 3 ] Stamulumab is a G1 immunoglobulin antibody which binds to myostatin and prevents it from binding to its target site, thus inhibiting the growth-limiting action of myostatin ...
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] Myostatin is a secreted growth differentiation factor that is a member of the TGF beta ...

Mast cell stabilizers are medications used to prevent or treat certain allergic disorders. They block mast cell degranulation, stabilizing the cell and thereby preventing the release of histamine and related mediators. One suspected pharmacodynamic mechanism is the blocking of IgE-regulated calcium channels. Without intracellular calcium, the ...
The alliinase containing food group, allium, has anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. Alliinase is an enzyme, which acts as an angiogenisis-inhibitor and a carcinogen detoxifier. Mushrooms reduce cancer cell and tumor growth and prevent DNA damage.
On August 20, 2013, it was announced that bimagrumab had received a breakthrough therapy designation for sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) by the US Food and Drug Administration. [ 3 ] In 2014, Bimagrumab entered Phase II development, with some research indicating clinical effects. [ 4 ]
Garetosmab is a fully human, experimental monoclonal antibody against activin-A.It has been tried in patients with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva and the manufacturer, Regeneron, also plans to test it in patients with obesity as an add-on to existing weight loss drugs such as GLP-1 agonists, in order to help patients maintain muscle mass during weight loss.
