Abstract excerpt
IGF-I increases skeletal muscle mass, but whether IGF-I increases type IIb myosin heavy chain (MyHC) transcriptional activity is not known. C2C12 myotubes were cultured with or without IGF-I to determine whether IGF-I increases type IIb MyHC promoter activity, and if so, what region of the promoter might IGF-I signaling regulate. At differentiation days 3 and 4, IGF-I increased type IIb MyHC mRNA and mouse 3.0-kb...
