| Abstract | During food deprivation (FD), skeletal muscle protein is broken down to produce amino acids for hepatic gluconeogenesis to maintain blood glucose levels. However, it is unclear what role, if any, the secreted antigrowth factor myostatin (MSTN) plays in the muscle atrophy induced by FD. We therefore examined expression and function of MSTN in FD in mice. Two days of FD significantly decreased muscle mass and protein content and increased mRNA levels of ubiquitin ligases MuRF-1 and atrogin-1 in fast-twitch tibialis anterior (TA) muscle but not slow-twitch soleus (Sol) muscle, while 2 days of refeeding returned these to fed values in TA. MSTN mRNA levels were significantly increased approximately threefold by 2 days, but not 1 day, of FD and returned to fed levels with 2 days of refeeding in TA but were not significantly affected by FD or refeeding in Sol. TA mass decreased to a similar amount after 1 day of FD in wild-type mice and mice null for the MSTN gene but was decreased to a greater amount in wild-type than MSTN-null mice by 2 days of FD. In addition, blood glucose levels decreased and corticosterone levels increased to a greater extent in MSTN-null mice after 2 days of FD, but surprisingly muscle MuRF-1 and atrogin-1 mRNA levels were not affected by the lack of MSTN during FD. Similarly, changes in hepatic enzyme expression in response to FD were identical between wild-type and MSTN-null mice. Our data are consistent with the hypothesis that MSTN is dispensable for the initial atrophy occurring in response to FD but attenuates the decrease in fast-twitch muscle mass during prolonged FD. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
