Pharmacological inhibition of myostatin improves skeletal muscle mass and function in a mouse model of stroke

Abstract In stroke patients, loss of skeletal muscle mass leads to prolonged weakness and less efficient rehabilitation. We previously showed that expression of myostatin, a master negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass, was strongly increased in skeletal muscle in a mouse model of stroke. We th...
