Researchers from the universities of Melbourne and Copenhagen studied molecular reactions in muscles before, during and
The researchers say they have found a gene that could lead to alternative treatments even without exercise.
To determine how during and after variousexercise activates genes and proteins, the authors analyzed human skeletal muscles during different exercises, said Dr. Benjamin Parker, lead author of the study.
The team analyzed how muscle signaling changed after different types of exercise, and how consistent these changes were across people.
Based on this, they identified a previously unrecorded C18ORF25 gene. He activated most of the time.
To check its work, the commanddesigned mice without this gene. As a result, they had a deficiency of muscle fibers. This led to muscle weakness and reduced physical performance. Conversely, when they increased gene activity, the animals' muscles became stronger.
The authors said their work will help fight muscle wasting and prevent and treat chronic diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease and many types of cancer.
