Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1α) may play an important role in the exercise-induced skeletal muscle adaptation, which is involved in the regulation of a variety of exercise-induced biological reactions.
OBJECTIVE:To review the PGC-1αand endurance training induced skeletal muscle adaptations.
METHODS:The relevant articles about relationship between PGC-1αand endurance training-induced skeletal muscle adaptations were searched from PubMed database (1995-01/2010-10) by using the keywords of“PGC-1α, skeletal muscle, exercise, mitochondrial biogenesis, adaptations”, and the language was limited to English. Repetitive contents were deleted. The 59 col ected articles were searched. According to the criterion, 37 were classified and sorted.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Endurance training can typical y increase the expression/activity of membrane transporters and mitochondrial metabolic enzymes as wel as increase capil arisation in the skeletal muscle, together enhancing the oxidative capacity of the muscle and the ability to oxidize both carbohydrates and fatty acids. Studies in PGC-1αknockout and overexpression mice have clearly demonstrated that PGC-1αplays an important role in maintaining the expression of mitochondrial metabolic and anti-oxidant enzymes in the skeletal muscle and does influence exercise-induced adaptations of mitochondrial proteins. However, PGC-1αis not exclusively required, and additional factors must be involved in the regulation of both basal expression and exercise-induced adaptations. Exercise-induced PGC-1αexpression and potential y increased PGC-1αactivity are likely the mechanisms contributing to skeletal muscle mitochondrial adaptations and concomitant health beneficial effects of regular physical activity.
