Stigmasterol Protects Against Dexamethasone-Induced Muscle Atrophy by Modulating the FoxO3–MuRF1/MAFbx Signaling Pathway in C2C12 Myotubes and Mouse Skeletal Muscle [PDF]

Biomolecules
Glucocorticoid therapy, using agents like dexamethasone (Dexa), often leads to muscle atrophy by increasing protein degradation via the ubiquitin–proteasome system while suppressing protein synthesis. Stigmasterol, a phytosterol with known bioactivities,
