The role of Toll-like Receptor 4 in the Modulation in Skeletal Muscle Metabolism
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a transmembrane receptor, which upon activation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Gram-negative bacteria, plays an important role in the induction of the innate immune response. Our lab has previously demonstrated that activation of TLR4 in skeletal muscle results in th...
