Deletion of Fibro-Adipogenic Progenitors-Specific Follistatin Impairs Muscle Function and Accelerates Skeletal Muscle Atrophy in Obese Mice [PDF]

Molecular Medicine
Background: Follistatin is a potent regulator of various TGF-β superfamily members, including myostatin (MSTN) and activin A. Previous studies have shown that follistatin is crucial in enhancing myogenesis during acute muscle injury.

Follistatin Alleviates Synovitis and Articular Cartilage Degeneration Induced by Carrageenan [PDF]

International Journal of Inflammation, 2014
Activins are proinflammatory cytokines which belong to the TGFβ superfamily. Follistatin is an extracellular decoy receptor for activins. Since both activins and follistatin are expressed in articular cartilage, we hypothesized that activin-follistatin ...

Follistatin Is Associated with Bone Mineral Density in Lean Adolescent Girls with Increased Physical Activity

Children, 2023
Follistatin is a member of the activin–follistatin–inhibin hormonal system and is proposed to affect bone metabolism. However, data regarding the effect of follistatin on bone are relatively scarce and contradictory in humans.

Tubule-Derived Follistatin Is Increased in the Urine of Rats with Renal Ischemia and Reflects the Severity of Acute Tubular Damage

Cells, 2023
Activin A, a member of the TGF-beta superfamily, is a negative regulator of tubular regeneration after renal ischemia. Activin action is controlled by an endogenous antagonist, follistatin.

Localization of follistatin in the rat testis [PDF]

Reproduction, 1998
Abstract The cellular localization of the activin-binding protein, follistatin, in the rat testis has been a matter of some controversy with different investigators claiming that Sertoli cells, Leydig cells or germ cells are the primary cell types containing this protein.

Tissue absence initiates regeneration through Follistatin-mediated inhibition of Activin signaling [PDF]

eLife, 2013
Regeneration is widespread, but mechanisms that activate regeneration remain mysterious. Planarians are capable of whole-body regeneration and mount distinct molecular responses to wounds that result in tissue absence and those that do not.

Higher serum follistatin levels are associated with increased vascular calcification in haemodialysis patients [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology
IntroductionFollistatin is a secreted protein whose main role is antagonizing the activity of transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) superfamily members.

Serum activin A and follistatin levels in gestational diabetes and the association of the Activin A-Follistatin system with anthropometric parameters in offspring.

PLoS ONE, 2014
ContextThe Activin A-Follistatin system has emerged as an important regulator of lipid and glucose metabolism with possible repercussions on fetal growth.ObjectiveTo analyze circulating activin A, follistatin and follistatin-like-3 (FSTL3) levels and ...

Impaired Follistatin Secretion in Cirrhosis [PDF]

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2016
Abstract Context: Follistatin is a liver-derived inhibitor of the muscle-growth inhibitor myostatin. Reduction in acute follistatin release may help explain muscle loss in liver cirrhosis. Objective: The study aimed to investigate the
