Skeletal muscle derived Musclin protects the heart during pathological overload

Skeletal muscle derived Musclin protects the heart during pathological overload

Cachexia is associated with poor prognosis in heart failure. Here the authors show that mice and patients with cardiac cachexia display reduced skeletal muscle expression and circulating levels of Musclin. Musclin ablation in skeletal muscle worsens, while its muscle-specific overexpression ameliora...
