Recent evidence suggests that myostatin, a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth, may play a key role in age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia). However, there is still no unified view on the changes in myostatin protein expression in skeletal muscle with aging. Therefore, this study was to inv...
