The differing responses of four muscle types to dexamethasone treatment in the rat
Keyword(s):
The glucocorticoid dexamethasone dramatically altered growth patterns in four muscle types, inducing atrophy of smooth and fast-twitch skeletal muscle, suppressing protein accumulation in slow-twitch muscle and enhancing growth in the heart. These differing responses were explained by steroid-induced changes in RNA content, protein synthesis and protein breakdown.
