## Abstract Compared with the normal or wildโtype condition, knockout mice lacking myostatin (__Mstn__), a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth, develop significant increases in relative masticatory muscle mass as well as the ability to generate higher maximal muscle forces. Wildโtype and m
The muscle-fiber architecture of 29 muscles from six rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) was measured in order to describe the muscular properties of this cursorial animal, which possesses several specific skeletal adaptations. Several muscles were placed into one of four functional groups: hamstrings,
## Abstract Myostatin is a negative regulator of muscle mass and has been reported to be upregulated in several conditions characterized by muscle atrophy. The influence of sepsis on myostatin expression and activity is poorly understood. Here, we tested the hypothesis that sepsis upregulates the e
## Abstract It is well recognized that masticatory muscle function helps determine morphology, although the extent of function on final form is still debated. GDFโ8 (myostatin), a transcription factor is a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth. A recent study has shown that mice homozygous f
