Modulation of extracellular matrix genes reflects the magnitude of physiological adaptation to aerobic exercise training in humans
2 Sept 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Regular exercise reduces cardiovascular and metabolic disease partly through improved aerobic fitness. The determinants of exercise-induced gains in aerobic fitness in humans are not known. We have demonstrated that over 500 genes are activated in response to endurance-exercise training, including modulation of muscle extracellular matrix (ECM) genes. Real-time quantitative PCR, which is essential for...
