Insulin resistance induced by physical inactivity is associated with multiple transcriptional changes in skeletal muscle in young men
26 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
Physical inactivity is a risk factor for insulin resistance. We examined the effect of 9 days of bed rest on basal and insulin-stimulated expression of genes potentially involved in insulin action by applying hypothesis-generating microarray in parallel with candidate gene real-time PCR approaches in 20 healthy young men. Furthermore, we investigated whether bed rest affected DNA methylation in the promoter...
