Identification of mediators involved in the Follistatin actions on skeletal muscle : proteomic and transcriptomic approaches

, 2017
Follistatin has been shown to induce a marked increase in muscle mass. In addition, it impacts on muscle contractility and energy metabolism. However, the molecular mechanisms responsible for these phenotypic changes remain unclear.

Follistatin decreases activin-stimulated FSH secretion with no effect on GnRH-stimulated FSH secretion in prepubertal male monkeys

, 1994
Follistatin is an activin-binding glycoprotein that decreases FSH secretion in vitro and in vivo in rats. The mechanism by which follistatin acts is unclear, but it has been suggested that it may bind endogenous activin and ...
