Özet
Skeletal muscle atrophy, a condition associated with sarcopenia, cachexia, and various metabolic diseases, significantly impairs physical function and quality of life. This study investigates the potential of Ononis natrix subsp. hispanica water extract, rich in quercetin, luteolin, and apigenin, to mitigate muscle atrophy in an in vitro model. Atrophy was induced in differentiated C2C12 myotubes using dexamethasone, and the effects of the extract and a mixture of its phytochemicals (QLA mixture) were evaluated on myotube morphology and key protein degradation markers. The extract significantly reduced dexamethasone-induced myotube diameter loss from 28% to 13%–15.4% (p < 0.001). Similarly, the QLA mixture limited diameter loss to 14.6%, maintaining a morphology closer to the control. The extract and QLA mixture attenuated the dexamethasone-induced upregulation of muscle-specific ubiquitin ligases …
