Myostatin Is a Human Placental Product That Regulates Glucose Uptake

8 Feb 2006

Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT: Myostatin is a member of the TGF-beta superfamily and is primarily known for its ability to inhibit muscle growth. It also has actions on glucose metabolism. We hypothesized that it may act as a paracrine regulator of glucose uptake in the placenta, potentially contributing to fetal and placental growth. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to determine whether myostatin is present in and formed...
