Article Synopsis
- Sepsis in ICU patients leads to muscle mass loss and decreased function, contributing to long-term disability.
- A study tested whether disabling the myostatin gene, which normally inhibits muscle growth, could help prevent muscle wasting in septic mice, but results showed no benefits.
- Both wild-type and myostatin knock-out mice experienced similar muscle mass and strength loss after sepsis, suggesting that targeting myostatin may not effectively improve outcomes in muscle wasting related to sepsis.
