Protein clues to muscle wasting in sepsis

NCT ID NCT03189355

First seen Feb 06, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study looked at 52 ICU patients with septic shock to understand why they lose muscle mass. Researchers measured a protein called PTP1B and checked muscle size using ultrasound. They also tested blood levels of zonulin, a marker of gut health. The goal was to find links between these factors and muscle loss, not to provide a treatment.
