Targeted myostatin loss-of-function mutation increases type II muscle fibers in Meishan pigs

Targeted myostatin loss-of-function mutation increases type II muscle fibers in Meishan pigs

Myostatin (MSTN) is a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth and development. The skeletal muscle in MSTN−/– mice is significantly hypertrophied, with muscle fiber type II increasing significantly while muscle fiber type I decreasing. However, it is still not clear how the skeletal muscle type...
