Effect of myostatin deletion on cardiac and microvascular function

Effect of myostatin deletion on cardiac and microvascular function

Abstract The objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that increased muscle mass has positive effects on cardiovascular function. Specifically, we tested the hypothesis that increases in lean body mass caused by deletion of myostatin improves cardiac performance and vascular function. Echoc...
