Regulation of tissue crosstalk by skeletal muscle-derived myonectin and other myokines. [PDF]
, 2012 The integrated control of animal physiology requires intimate tissue crosstalk, a vital task mediated by circulating humoral factors. As one type of these factors, adipose tissue-derived adipokines have recently garnered attention as important regulators

The association of the serum levels of myostatin, follistatin, and interleukin-6 with sarcopenia, and their impacts on survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
Clinical and Molecular Hepatology, 2020 Background/Aims The role of serum myokine levels in sarcopenia and the outcome of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients are not clear. This study investigated the serum levels of myostatin, follistatin, and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in HCC patients 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

Follistatin Alleviates Synovitis and Articular Cartilage Degeneration Induced by Carrageenan
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 ...

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2021 Caudal Type Homeobox 2 (CDX2) is a key regulator of trophectoderm formation and maintenance in preimplantation embryos. We previously demonstrated that supplementation of exogenous follistatin, during in vitro culture of bovine IVF embryos, upregulates ...

Follistatin-Like Proteins: Structure, Functions and Biomedical Importance
Biomedicines, 2021 Main forms of cellular signal transmission are known to be autocrine and paracrine signaling. Several cells secrete messengers called autocrine or paracrine agents that can bind the corresponding receptors on the surface of the cells themselves or their ...
