Akt Deficiency Attenuates Muscle Size and Function but Not the Response to ActRIIB Inhibition

BACKGROUND: Akt is a critical mediator of developmental skeletal muscle growth. Treatment with a soluble ActRIIB fusion protein (ActRIIB-mFc) increases skeletal muscle mass and strength by inhibiting myostatin and related peptides. Recent in vitro studies have suggested that Akt signaling is necessa...
