A new study from Karolinska Institutet shows that long-term endurance training in a stable way alters the epigenetic pattern in the human skeletal muscle. The researchers also found strong links between these altered epigenetic patterns and the activity in genes controlling improved metabolism and inflammation. The results may have future implications for prevention and treatment of heart disease, diabetes and obesity. It is well-established that … Continue reading Researchers map epigenetic methylation in human skeletal muscle during exercise.
