Rapamycin administration causes a decrease in muscle contractile function and systemic glucose intolerance concomitant with reduced skeletal muscle Rictor, the mTORC2 component, expression independent of energy intake in young rats.
Emerging evidence suggests the potential of rapamycin, an antibiotic from Streptomyces hygroscopicus that functions as a mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor, as a mimetic of caloric restriction (CR) for maintaining skeletal muscle health. Several studies showed that rapamycin administra...
