The aetiology of this condition is more complex than simple protein and calorie malnutrition. Cirrhosis also results in depleted glycogen stores and metabolic alterations that cause excessive protein catabolism, increased activation of the ubiquitin\u2013proteasome pathway and inappropriate muscle autophagy. Satellite cell differentiation and proliferation is also reduced due to a combination of elevated myostatin levels, reduced\n                      <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">IGF<\/jats:styled-content>\n                      \u20101 and hypogonadism.
