AMP Deaminase 3 in Skeletal Muscle Atrophy: Regulation of Protein Degradation and Contractile Performance
(East Carolina University, 2015-11-23)
Skeletal muscle atrophy is characterized by depressed cellular energetics, increased rates of protein degradation, contractile deficits and loss of muscle mass. A potential regulator of these impairments is the metabolic ...
Skeletal Muscle Purine Nucleotide Degradation and Atrophy: Cause or Consequence of Increased Uric Acid Production
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-26)
Elevated serum uric acid is a risk factor for mortality in diseases and critical illnesses associated with skeletal muscle atrophy. Uric acid is generated by xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) and XOR inhibitors can partially ...
