Abstract excerpt
Elucidating the molecular pathways linking electrical activity to gene expression is necessary for understanding the effects of exercise on muscle. Fast muscles express higher levels of MyoD and lower levels of myogenin than slow muscles, and we have previously linked myogenin to expression of oxidative enzymes. We here report that in slow muscles, compared with fast, 6 times as much of the MyoD is in an inactive...
