Relationship of muscle function to circulating myostatin, follistatin and GDF11 in older women and men

Relationship of muscle function to circulating myostatin, follistatin and GDF11 in older women and men

Abstract Background Myostatin, its inhibitor follistatin, and growth/differentiation factor 11 (GDF11) have been proposed as factors that could potentially modify biological aging.
