Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating muscular diseases, or for improving muscular functions, containing gagnlioside. More specifically, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating muscular diseases, a food composition for preventing or alleviating muscular diseases, or a cosmetic composition for preventing or alleviating muscular diseases, all of which comprise gagnlioside, which can increase the expression of proteins associated with muscle protein synthesis and muscle mass growth in muscle cells and inhibit the expression of enzymes involved in muscle protein degradation at the mRNA level.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions for preventing or treating a muscle disease or improving muscle functions including a ganglioside. More specifically, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating a muscle disease, a food composition for preventing or ameliorating a muscle disease, and a cosmetic composition for preventing or ameliorating a muscle disease. Each of the compositions includes a ganglioside that increases the expression of proteins associated with muscle protein synthesis in muscle cells and an increase in muscle mass and inhibits the expression of enzymes involved in muscle protein degradation at the mRNA level.
