Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Ctns −/− mice, a mouse model of infantile nephropathic cystinosis, exhibit hypermetabolism with adipose tissue browning and profound muscle wasting. Inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 trigger inflammatory cascades and play an important role in the pathogenesis of cachexia.
