Role of calcium and AMP kinase in the regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis and GLUT4 levels in muscle
Ojuka, Edward O. (Proceedings of the Nutrition Society, 2004)Contractile activity induces mitochondrial biogenesis and increases glucose transport capacity in muscle. There has been much research on the mechanisms responsible for these adaptations. The present paper reviews the ...
