Forty-eight hours of unloading and 24 h of reloading lead to changes in global gene expression patterns related to ubiquitination and oxidative stress in humans

Abstract excerpt

Although short-term disuse does not result in measurable muscle atrophy, studies suggest that molecular changes associated with protein degradation may be initiated within days of the onset of a disuse stimulus. We examined the global gene expression patterns in sedentary men (n = 7, mean age ± SD = 22.1 ± 3.7 yr) following 48 h unloading (UL) via unilateral lower limb suspension and 24 h reloading (RL). Biopsy...
