A myostatin inhibitory antibody combined with insulin, partially rescues the musculoskeletal phenotype of female insulin-deficient diabetic mice by R. Clay Bunn, Reuben Adatorwovor, Philip D. Ray, Alexander R. Keeble, Christopher S. Fry, Sasidhar Uppuganti, Jeffry S. Nyman, John L. Fowlkes, Evangelia Kalaitzoglou

“…In diabetic mice, the combination of insulin and MyoAb resulted in higher lean mass, higher average gastrocnemius weight and larger muscle fiber size (Type IIB, IIX and hybrid fibers) compared to no treatment. In vivo contractile muscle function testing showed that insulin increased muscle torque in diabetic mice, however there was no effect of the MyoAb. …”
