CaMKII Protein Expression and Phosphorylation in Mouse Skeletal Muscle Following Atrophy and Hypertrophy
(East Carolina University, 2012)The maintenance of skeletal muscle mass is vital for life, and elucidation of the molecular mechanisms that control this process is a critical first step towards the development of pharmaceutical treatments for muscle ... -
High-Fat Diet Induced Obesity Increases Serum Myostatin, but Does Not Accelerate Skeletal Muscle Atrophy
(East Carolina University, 2013)Myostatin is a potent negative regulator of muscle mass, i.e. high levels of myostatin induce loss of muscle. Surprisingly, severely obese humans and obese mice have elevated levels of serum myostatin, but the role of ...
