Plasma and muscle myostatin in relation to type 2 diabetes.

<h4>Objective</h4>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 t...
