Alleviating Sepsis-Induced Neuromuscular Dysfunction Linked With Acetylcholine Receptors by Agrin
Abnormal expression and distribution of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in skeletal muscle caused by sepsis can lead to neuromuscular dysfunction. Here, we asked whether neural agrin regulates nAChRs to ameliorate muscle function, which could be associated with the agrin/muscle-specific kinase pathway.
