Evaluation of follistatin as a therapeutic in models of skeletal muscle atrophy associated with denervation and tenotomy

open access: yes, 2015
Follistatin is an inhibitor of TGF-β superfamily ligands that repress skeletal muscle growth and promote muscle wasting. Accordingly, follistatin has emerged as a potential therapeutic to ameliorate the deleterious effects of muscle atrophy.

Advance in the study of inhibin, activin and follistatin production in pregnant women

open access: yes, 1998
This review summarizes the new information on the studies of inhibin, activin, and follistatin production in the placenta during human pregnancy. Inhibin and activin exert suppressive and stimulatory effects, respectively, on the release of FSH in the ...

Follistatin-derived peptide expression in muscle decreases adipose tissue mass and prevents hepatic steatosis

open access: yes, 2011
Myostatin, a member of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β superfamily, plays a potent inhibitory role in regulating skeletal muscle mass. Inhibition of myostatin by gene disruption, transgenic (Tg) expression of myostatin propeptide, or injection of ...

The structure of FSTL3.activin A complex: Differential binding of N-terminal domains influences follistatin-type antagonist specificity

open access: yes, 2008
Transforming growth factor beta family ligands are neutralized by a number of structurally divergent antagonists. Follistatin-type antagonists, which include splice variants of follistatin (FS288 and FS315) and follistatin-like 3 (FSTL3), have high ...
