The truncated splice variants, <i>NT</i>-<i>PGC</i>-<i>1α</i> and <i>PGC</i>-<i>1α4</i>, increase with both endurance and resistance exercise in human skeletal muscle
1 Nov 2013
Abstract excerpt
Recently, a truncated peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1α) splice variant, PGC-1α4, that originates from the alternative promoter was shown to be induced by resistance exercise and to elicit muscle hypertrophy without coactivation of "classical" PGC-1α targets involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and angiogenesis. In order to test if distinct physiological adaptations are...
