Induction and adaptation of chaperone-assisted selective autophagy CASA in response to resistance exercise in human skeletal muscle
25 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
Chaperone-assisted selective autophagy (CASA) is a tension-induced degradation pathway essential for muscle maintenance. Impairment of CASA causes childhood muscle dystrophy and cardiomyopathy. However, the importance of CASA for muscle function in healthy individuals has remained elusive so far. Here we describe the impact of strength training on CASA in a group of healthy and moderately trained men. We show...
