Abstract excerpt
KEY POINTS: Hepatic mitochondrial adaptations to physical activity may be regulated by mitochondrial biogenesis (PGC1α) and mitophagy (BNIP3). Additionally, these adaptations may be sex-dependent. Chronic increase in physical activity lowers basal mitochondrial respiratory capacity in mice. Female mice have higher hepatic electron transport system protein content, elevated respiratory capacity, lowered mitophagic...
