Reducing a muscle protein weakened mice before muscle loss
Experiments in 3-month-old male mice found that reducing the protein lowered muscle force before muscle mass declined over eight weeks.Experiments in 3-month-old male mice found that reducing the protein lowered muscle force before muscle mass declined over eight weeks.
Mouse studyMuscle
Who was studiedYoung male mice, eight weeks, against opposite control legs
What changedMuscle force fell versus control legs at two weeks after UNC45B reduction, before muscle mass declined at eight weeks
The catchEffects of restoring UNC45B on age-related muscle decline were not measured
