Rapid disuse and denervation atrophy involve transcriptional changes similar to those of muscle wasting during systemic diseases

Abstract excerpt

We previously identified a common set of genes, termed atrogenes, whose expression is coordinately induced or suppressed in muscle during systemic wasting states (fasting, cancer cachexia, renal failure, diabetes). To determine whether this transcriptional program also functions during atrophy resulting from loss of contractile activity and whether atrogene expression correlates with the rate of muscle weight...
