Adaptations of skeletal muscle to exercise: rapid increase in the transcriptional coactivator PGC-1

TL;DR: It is suggested that increases in PGC‐1, NRF‐ 1, andNRF‐2 represent key regulatory components of the stimulation of mitochondrial biogenesis by exercise and that P GC‐1 mediates the coordinated increases in GLUT4 and mitochondria.
Journal ArticleDOI

PGC-1α Coactivates PDK4 Gene Expression via the Orphan Nuclear Receptor ERRα: a Mechanism for Transcriptional Control of Muscle Glucose Metabolism

TL;DR: It is found that physiological stimuli known to induce PGC-1α expression in skeletal muscle coordinately upregulate the expression of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4), a negative regulator of glucose oxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipotoxicity in the heart

TL;DR: The state of knowledge regarding potential causes and correlates of increased myocardial lipid content in animal models and humans is reviewed and it is sought to highlight those areas where additional research is warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Role for the Transcriptional Coactivator PGC-1α in Muscle Refueling *

TL;DR: Findings identify PGC-1α as a critical regulator of skeletal muscle fuel stores via several mechanisms including stimulation of glucose import, suppression of glycolytic flux, and by down-regulation of the expression of glycogen phosphorylase and its activating kinase, phosphoryLase kinase α.
