Composition for preventing or treating muscle disease comprising sargassum serratifolium extract

Abstract

The present invention relates to a composition for the prevention or treatment of muscle diseases comprising a Sargassum serratifolium extract. The Sargassum serratifolium extract of the present invention has been found to protect muscle cells from dexamethasone-induced atrophy and muscle loss caused by the side effects of atorvastatin, inhibit the reduction in myotube diameter, suppress muscle atrophy, induce muscle hypertrophy, and inhibit muscle protein degradation. Additionally, in an animal model with dexamethasone-induced muscle atrophy, it was confirmed to increase muscle strength, improve muscle function, and increase muscle mass, making it useful for the prevention or treatment of muscle diseases.
