Abstract excerpt
Uncoupling proteins 2 and 3 (UCP2 and UCP3) may negatively regulate mitochondrial ATP synthesis and, through this, influence human physical performance. However, human data relating to both these issues remain sparse. Examining the association of common variants in the UCP3/2 locus with performance phenotypes offers one means of investigation. The efficiency of skeletal muscle contraction, delta efficiency (DE),...
