Resistance Training Increases Muscle Mitochondrial Biogenesis in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Muscle wasting, a common complication in chronic kidney disease (CKD), contributes to poor outcomes. Mitochondrial biogenesis is critical for the maintenance of skeletal muscle function and structural integrity. The present study--a secondary analysis from a published randomized controlled trial--examined the effect of resistance exercise training on skeletal muscle mitochondrial...
