Abstract excerpt
Muscle proteolysis is controlled by a wide range of enzyme systems. The reported effects of the calcium dependent proteinases (calpain I and II) and its specific inhibitor (calpastatin) on myofibrillar structure, has led to the speculation that this system may have a pivotal role in regulating protein turnover and muscle growth. The present study highlights the possibility of protein degradation being subject to...
