Several conditions can be associated with skeletal muscle atrophy, such as inactivity aging, sepsis, diabetes, cancer and corticosteroids. All of these conditions occur by mechanisms including increased protein degradation and/or reduced protein synthesis. Studies with glucocorticoids such as dexamethasone are performed by analyzing their influence on pathways related to muscular trophism…
Many conditions are associated with muscle atrophy including inactivity, aging, sepsis, diabetes, cancer and steroid therapy. All these conditions produce muscle atrophy due to increase of protein degradation and/or reduction of protein synthesis involving at least five systems: lisosomal, calpains, caspases, metalloproteinase, and ubiquitin-proteosome. The steroids produce atrophy acting…
