"Because the higher mortality of heterozygous eIF3f mice remains to be explained, further studies investigating cardiac morphology and function of our animal model are needed to clarify the involvement of eIF3f in cardiac homeostasis.In the present study, we report that eIF3f down-regulation significantly decreases skeletal muscle mass by reducing CSA without affecting fibre number and the expression of fibre type specific myosins."
