Due to myostatin's effect as a negative regulator of bone, its inhibition has also been considered for orthopedic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. [15] 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 ...
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]
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 ...
Weight loss induced by lower calorie intake is generally accompanied by muscle loss and lower fat levels in the muscle tissue. In other words, weight loss results in an improvement in 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 ]
Apitegromab (SRK-015) is a fully human monoclonal antibody developed to treat spinal muscular atrophy.It works by binding to and inhibiting promyostatin, a precursor to myostatin, which limits the size of skeletal muscle tissue, as well as inactive myostatin.
Myostatin is a protein found on muscle cells that inhibit the growth of muscles. Elderly patients are known to have higher levels of myostatin compared to younger patients, thus this protein poses a risk of developing sarcopenia. By inhibiting this protein, it may help reduce the process of muscle breakdown. [25]
