If myostatin does act systemically, the implication would be that local control of muscle growth can be influenced at least in part by myostatin being produced elsewhere in the body and that myostatin functions precisely as a chalone, as originally hypothesized by Bullough [25], [26] for the control for tissue growth in general.
It is the flip - side of myostatin, as increased follistatin blocks the activity of myostatin: either increased follistatin or reduced myostatin produce similar outcomes in animal studies, with treated individuals demonstrating increased muscle mass.
In mice, introducing a variant of PGC - 1 produces enhanced muscle growth, most likely via its interaction with myostatin.
