A Lot More On HMB Part 2
The mechanism of the effect of beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) on protein degradation induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been evaluated in murine myotubes. HMB (50 muM) completely attenuated total protein degradation induced by LPS (1-100 ng/ml), formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and activation of caspase-3/-8. Specific inhibitors of caspase-3/-8 completely attenuated ROS production, total protein degradation […]
