Scientists probe hidden cause of muscle wasting in deadly infection
NCT ID NCT03189355
Summary
This study aimed to understand why patients with severe sepsis or septic shock lose muscle mass, which is linked to worse outcomes. Researchers measured a specific protein (PTP1B) and a gut health marker (zonulin) in 52 patients to see if they were connected to muscle loss. The goal was to gather knowledge to inform future treatments, not to test a new therapy.
