12 Jun 2007

ABSTRACT Mutations in PINK1 cause the mitochon‐drial‐related neurodegenerative disease Parkinson's. Here we investigate whether obesity, type 2 diabetes, or inactivity alters transcription from the PINK1 locus. We utilized a cDNA‐array and quantitative real‐time PCR for gene expression analysis of muscle from healthy volunteers following physical inactivity, and muscle and adipose tissue from nonobese or obese...
