[22] Whilst GLP-1 receptors are present in the brain, their activation does not directly modulate serotonergic neurotransmission in the way that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or other psychiatric medications do
In sarcopenic muscle, reduced insulin receptor activity and impaired IRS phosphorylation weaken this signaling cascade, resulting in decreased GLUT4 translocation and diminished glucose uptake [48, 83]
As described in the statistical analysis plan, for the single-dose part of the study, assuming an anti-GDF8 + anti-ActA combination treatment effect of 6% over placebo in thigh muscle volume by MRI and an anti-GDF8 alone treatment effect of 3% over placebo, sample sizes of 12 for the anti-GDF8 + anti-ActA combination, six for anti-GDF8 alone, and 12 for placebo (pooled) were estimated to provide 99% power in demonstrating a treatment difference between the anti-GDF8 + anti-ActA combination final dose and placebo at a two-sided 0.05 level based on an assumed common standard deviation of 3%
