The -55 C/T polymorphism within the UCP3 gene and performance during the South African Ironman Triathlon.

International journal of sports medicine - 1 Aug 2004

Hudson D E, Mokone G G, Noakes T D, Collins M

Abstract excerpt

Uncoupling protein 3 is believed to be involved in total body energy expenditure, including the regulation of fat and glucose metabolism. These biochemical processes may distinguish top ultra-endurance triathletes from slower competitors. The aim of this study was to determine whether the uncoupling protein 3 gene is associated with the performance capacity of ultra-endurance Ironman triathletes. Two triathlete...
