The purpose of this review is to provide information about the role of exercise in the
prevention of skeletal muscle insulin resistance, that is, the inability of insulin to properly …

Long chain fatty acids (LCFAs) are an important substrate for ATP production within the
skeletal muscle. The process of LCFA delivery from adipose tissue to muscle mitochondria …

Background The respiratory exchange ratio (RER) indirectly shows the muscle's oxidative
capacity to get energy. Sedentarism, exercise and physically active lifestyles modify it. For …

Skeletal muscle gene response to exercise depends on nutritional status during and after
exercise, but it is unknown whether muscle adaptations to endurance training are affected …

Our purpose was to determine the possible association between genotypes of three
polymorphisms (Gly482Ser, Thr394Thr and A2962G) of the peroxisome proliferator …

Skeletal muscle fibers differ considerably in their metabolic and physiological properties.
Skeletal muscle displays a high degree of metabolic flexibility, which allows the myofibers to …

Despite considerable progress during recent years our understanding of how lipid oxidation
(LOx) is controlled during exercise remains incomplete. This review focuses on the role of …

Aim: To determine whether endurance training can counterbalance the negative effects of
hypoxia on mitochondrial phosphorylation and expression of the long chain mitochondrial …

While endogenous carbohydrates form the main substrate source during high-intensity
exercise, long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) represent the main substrate source during more …

O ácido graxo (AG) é uma importante fonte de energia para o músculo esquelético. Durante
o exercício sua mobilização é aumentada para suprir as necessidades da musculatura …
