How Control of CCN1 Protein May Contribute to Muscle Loss in Chronic Kidney Disease

Longevity & Aging Weekly Brief ↗PubMed ↗DOI ↗

Updated

Abstract

Sarcopenia is a common complication in chronic kidney disease (CKD).

  • Reliable biomarkers for sarcopenia in CKD are currently limited.
  • CCN1 is a protein associated with cellular aging and may contribute to muscle wasting.
  • The specific role of CCN1 in the decline of muscle strength related to CKD is not fully understood.
