Obesity Augments Glucocorticoid-Dependent Muscle Atrophy in Male C57BL/6J Mice

Glucocorticoids promote muscle atrophy by inducing a class of proteins called atrogenes, resulting in reductions in muscle size and strength. In this work, we evaluated whether a mouse model with pre-existing diet-induced obesity had altered glucocorticoid responsiveness. We observed that all animal...
