摘要
We examined the effects of a glucocorticoid, corticosterone, on calpain activity, connectin content and protein breakdown in rat muscle. The results indicated that calpain activity was increased by corticosterone and thus breakdown of connectin was stimulated followed by increased breakdown of skeletal muscle protein.
