Bone mass and skeletal muscle mass are controlled by factors such as genetics, diet and
nutrition, growth factors and mechanical stimuli. Whereas increased mechanical loading of …

In the United States alone, 1 person dies from a coronary event approximately every 1.5
minutes. 1 Cardiovascular disease (CVD) encompasses larger subclasses of diseases, such …

Myostatin (Mstn) is an inhibitor of myogenesis, regulating the number and size of skeletal
myocytes. In addition to its myogenic regulatory function, Mstn plays important roles in the …

The differential, tissue-specific regulation of oxytocin (OT) binding sites allows the
neurohypophysial nonapeptide OT to fulfill a dual role: to induce uterine contractions at …

Myostatin is a member of TGF-β super family and is directly involved in regulation of body
growth through limiting muscular growth. A study was carried out in three chicken lines to …

A potentially novel approach for treating obesity includes attenuating myostatin as this
increases muscle mass and decreases fat mass. Notwithstanding, conflicting studies report …

Abstract The WFIKKN (WAP, Follistatin/kazal, Immunoglobulin, Kunitz and Netrin domain-
containing) protein family is composed of two multidomain proteins: WFIKKN1 and …

Certain disclosed oligomers induce exon skipping during processing of myostatin pre-
mRNA. The oligomers may be in a vector or encoded by the vector. The vector is used for …

The myostatin (MSTN) is a known negative growth regulator of skeletal muscle. The mutated
myostatin showed a double‐muscular phenotype having a positive significance for the …

Myostatin, a member of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) superfamily, is a
dominant inhibitor that acts to limit skeletal muscle growth and development. In this study …
