Regulatory gene expression in skeletal muscle of highly endurance‐trained humans

Abstract excerpt

AIM AND BACKGROUND: Changes in regulatory and structural gene expression provide the molecular basis for the adaptation of human skeletal muscle to endurance exercise. HYPOTHESIS: The steady-state levels of multiple mRNAs mainly involved in regulatory functions differ between highly endurance-trained and untrained subjects in a muscle heavily recruited during the exercise. METHODS: Biopsies from musculus vastus...
