Abstract excerpt
Muscle has an intrinsic ability to adapt to different types of work by changing fibre type and muscle mass. This process involves quantitative and qualitative changes in gene expression including those of the myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isogenes that encode different types of molecular motors. Increased expression of slow MyHC and of metabolic genes result in increased fatigue resistance. Recently, there has been...
