Plasma and muscle myostatin in relation to type 2 diabetes
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Myostatin is a secreted growth factor expressed in skeletal muscle tissue, which negatively regulates skeletal muscle mass. Recent animal studies suggest a role for myostatin in insulin resistance. We evaluated the possible metabolic role of myostatin in patients with type 2 diabetes and healthy controls.
