β2-adrenergic receptor agonist counteracts skeletal muscle atrophy and oxidative stress in uremic mice
Abstract In patients with chronic kidney disease, skeletal muscle dysfunction is associated with mortality. Uremic sarcopenia is caused by ageing, malnutrition, and chronic inflammation, but the molecular mechanism and potential therapeutics have not been fully elucidated yet. We hypothesize that ac...
