  • Publication number: 20230390296
    Abstract: The present disclosure has solved problems associated with the TGF-? family or the like, which is called Myostatin/GDF-8 as a molecular mechanism and targeted by sarcopenia, by evaluating a pharmaceutical product in physiological aging models, and in particular, by evaluating an increase in muscle mass and an increase in muscle strength; and has overcome harmful effects by applying targets of diseases different from sarcopenia such as dystrophia. The present disclosure has unexpectedly found a use for an OK-1-related compound as a sarcopenia treatment method through a pathway different from that of Wnt signal (proliferation of muscle stem cells) associated with Wnt/?-catenin inhibition, and is thus provided due to the findings.
