Abstract excerpt
A recent study reported that endothelial PAS domain protein 1 (EPAS1; hypoxia-inducible factor 2α) acts downstream of PGC-1α to regulate the slow-twitch muscle fiber program in mice, yet its role in human physiology and exercise adaptation remains unclear. The aim of this study was threefold: (1) to investigate EPAS1 gene expression in human skeletal muscle and its association with muscle fiber composition and...
