Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The objective was to investigate the role of gene expression and plasma levels of the muscular protein myostatin in intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICUAW). This was performed to evaluate a potential clinical and/or pathophysiological rationale of therapeutic myostatin inhibition. METHODS: A retrospective analysis from pooled data of two prospective studies to assess the dynamics of myostatin...
