Glucocorticoid-dependent REDD1 expression reduces muscle metabolism to enable adaptation under energetic stress
Abstract Background Skeletal muscle atrophy is a common feature of numerous chronic pathologies and is correlated with patient mortality. The REDD1 protein is currently recognized as a negative regulator of muscle mass through inhibition of the Akt/mTORC1 signaling pathway. REDD1 expression is notab...
