MYOSTATIN CHANGES IN FEMALES WITH UI AFTER MAGNETIC STIMULATION. A QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL STUDY
Journal of Clinical Medicine
A multicenter quasi-experimental study published in the Journal Medicine aimed to evaluate whether flat magnetic stimulation technology affected serum myostatin levels, since myostatin can block cell proliferation at the urethral sphincter. Myostatin is a protein expressed by human skeletal muscle cells, and it inhibits muscle growth. Myostatin concentrations have been observed to increase during skeletal muscle inactivity, and suppression of serum myostatin promotes muscle growth and strength. Therefore, effective flat magnetic stimulation reduces myostatin concentrations and the length of the genital hiatus, minimizing the severity of urinary incontinence.
