Myostatin promotes distinct responses on protein metabolism of skeletal and cardiac muscle fibers of rodents

Myostatin is a novel negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass. Myostatin expression is also found in heart in a much less extent, but it can be upregulated in pathological conditions, such as heart failure. Myostatin may be involved in inhibiting protein synthesis and/or increasing protein degrada...
