Restoration of Capacity to Build Muscle Strength in Geriatric Mice by Inhibition of the Gerozyme 15-Prostaglandin Dehydrogenase

Minas Nalbandian, Ireh Kim, Elena Monti, Yutong Kelly Li, Emméran Le Moal, Peggy E. Kraft, Kaitlin Jeuris, Michelle To, L. А. Alexandrova, Jameel Barkat Lone, Zeyuan Zhang, Katrin J. Svensson, Helen M. Blau

The paper shows that inhibiting 15-PGDH in geriatric mice restores muscle strength by increasing PGE2 levels, which activates an IGF1-mediated circuit for muscle growth.

15-PGDH Inhibition Overcomes Muscle Regenerative Deficit Seen With GLP1-Receptor Agonist-Induced Weight Loss

Minas Nalbandian, Jameel Barkat Lone, Emméran Le Moal, Ireh Kim, Yutong Kelly Li, Peggy E. Kraft, Meng Zhao, Kassie Kolacar, Zeyuan Zhang, Katrin J. Svensson, Helen M. Blau

The paper shows that inhibiting 15-PGDH counteracts muscle regeneration deficits caused by GLP-1 receptor agonist-induced weight loss in mice.
