Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To review papers on myostatin published in 2003 and early 2004. Myostatin is a negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass produced in this tissue. Inactivating mutations of the myostatin gene or interaction of myostatin protein with follistatin and other inhibitory proteins induce a hypermuscular phenotype in cattle and mice; this is assumed to result from inhibition of muscle cell...
