Translational Signalling, Atrogenic and Myogenic Gene Expression during Unloading and Reloading of Skeletal Muscle in Myostatin-Deficient Mice

Skeletal muscles of myostatin null (Mstn(−/−)) mice are more susceptible to atrophy during hind limb suspension (HS) than are muscles of wild-type mice. Here we sought to elucidate the mechanism for this susceptibility and to determine if Mstn(−/−) mice can regain muscle mass after HS. Male Mstn(−/−...
