Abstract
The recent advances in our understanding of the biology of muscle, and how anabolic and catabolic stimuli interact
to controlmusclemass and function, have led to new interest in pharmacological treatment ofmusclewasting. Loss of
muscle occurs as a consequence of many chronic diseases (cachexia), as well as normal aging (sarcopenia). Although
anabolic effects of exercise onmuscle have been know for many years, the development of pharmacological treatment
for muscle loss is in its infancy. However, there is a growing ferment in this field that may yield new treatments for
muscle wasting in the future.
