.... The stimulatory effect of GCs on muscle proteolysis results from the activation of two major cellular proteolytic systems: ubiquitin proteasome and lysosomal systems. The decrease in muscle production of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), a muscle anabolic growth factor, could contribute to GC-induced muscle...

The normalization of serum GH-dependent growth factors may have a role in individualizing the GH dose in a similar way to the approach used...
