Abstract excerpt
Musclin has been described as a muscle-derived secretory peptide, responsive to insulin in vivo, and inducing insulin resistance in vitro. Because muscle fibers display very different metabolic properties and insulin sensitivity, we tested the hypothesis that musclin expression could depend on myofiber type. Musclin mRNA was detected at high level in fast gastrocnemius and plantaris muscles, but only as traces in...
