Abstract: 10.10 Inhibition Of Gdf8 (Myostatin) Enhances Bone Healing In Murine Diabetic Bone
introduCtion: The healing capacity of bone can be substantially reduced by metabolic diseases such as diabetes mellitus. Apart from an epidemiological component of metabolic diseases the present poor therapy of diabetic associated bone healing deficiencies demands adequate new treatment options. In previous studies we were able to show a massive impairment of bone regeneration in diabetic bone....
متن کاملIncreased Bone Mass in Female Mice Lacking Mast Cell Chymase
Here we addressed the potential impact of chymase, a mast-cell restricted protease, on mouse bone phenotype. We show that female mice lacking the chymase Mcpt4 acquired a persistent expansion of diaphyseal bone in comparison with wild type controls, reaching a 15% larger diaphyseal cross sectional area at 12 months of age. Mcpt4-/- mice also showed increased levels of a bone anabolic serum mark...
متن کاملMyostatin (GDF8) single nucleotide polymorphisms in Nellore cattle.
The myostatin gene, also known as GDF8 (growth differentiation factor 8), is located on bovine chromosome 2 (BTA2); it has three exons and two introns. Myostatin is specifically expressed during embryonic development and in adult skeletal muscle, functioning as a negative regulatory protein. Several cattle breeds (Piedmontese, Belgian Blue and Blond'Aquitaine, and others) show polymorphisms in ...
متن کاملIncreased platelet sensitivity to ADP in mice lacking platelet-type 12-lipoxygenase.
Arachidonic acid metabolism is one of several mechanisms culminating in the production of an agonist for platelet activation and recruitment. Although the proaggregatory role of thromboxane A2, a product of the aspirin-inhibitable cyclooxygenase, is well established, relatively little is known regarding the biological importance of arachidonic acid metabolism via the 12-lipoxygenase (P-12LO) pa...
متن کاملIncreased energy expenditure and leptin sensitivity account for low fat mass in myostatin-deficient mice.
Myostatin deficiency causes dramatically increased skeletal muscle mass and reduced fat mass. Previously, myostatin-deficient mice were reported to have unexpectedly low total energy expenditure (EE) after normalizing to body mass, and thus, a metabolic cause for low fat mass was discounted. To clarify how myostatin deficiency affects the control of body fat mass and energy balance, we compared...
