Daidzein improves muscle atrophy caused by lovastatin by regulating the AMPK/FOXO3a axis by Keke Wang, Hao Zeng, Hua Yang

“…Mechanistically, daidzein inhibited lovastatin-induced FOXO3a phosphorylation caused by AMPK activation, thereby inhibiting FOXO3a nuclear translocation to restrain the expression of muscle-related proteins Atrogin-1 and MuRF-1. In C2C12 myotube, administration of AMPK-selective inhibitor Compound C recapitulated the therapeutic effects of daidzein against lovastatin-induced myotubes atrophy, while the anti-atrophy effects of daidzein were lost in the presence of AMPK-selective agonist MK-3903. …”
