Journal ArticleDOI
Clustering of metabolic abnormalities in obese individuals: the role of genetic factors.
Olavi Ukkola,Claude Bouchard +1 more
TL;DR: Gene-gene interaction effects between markers of the α2A, β2 and β3 adrenergic receptor genes on components of the metabolic syndrome have been described and genetic factors also seem to modify the responsiveness of metabolic syndrome features to endurance training.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age-related differences in inflammatory markers in men: contribution of visceral adiposity.
Amélie Cartier,Mélanie Côté,Isabelle Lemieux,Louis Pérusse,Angelo Tremblay,Claude Bouchard,Jean-Pierre Després +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the age-related variation in CRP and IL-6 is largely explained by differences in visceral AT, and matching for visceral AT eliminated the difference between middle-aged men and younger adult men in inflammatory markers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploration of myostatin polymorphisms and the angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion genotype in responses of human muscle to strength training.
Martine Thomis,Wim Huygens,Sofie Heuninckx,Monique Chagnon,Hermine H. Maes,Albrecht Claessens,Robert Vlietinck,Claude Bouchard,Gaston Beunen +8 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that an increased muscle fiber hypertrophic effect of strength training is present in D-allele carriers is not supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological/Genetic Regulation of Physical Activity Level: Consensus from GenBioPAC
J. Timothy Lightfoot,Eco J. C. de Geus,Frank W. Booth,Molly S. Bray,Marcel den Hoed,Jaakko Kaprio,Scott A. Kelly,Daniel Pomp,Michael C. Saul,Martine Thomis,Theodore Garland,Claude Bouchard +11 more
TL;DR: A brief review of the theoretical concepts and existing literature that supports a significant role of genetic and other biological factors in the regulation of physical activity are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical training and changes in regional adipose tissue distribution.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the sex dimorphism observed in adipose tissue localization could partly explain the greater cardiovascular risk associated with obesity in men than in women, and those with a "male" distribution of adiposity and with associated metabolic complications greatly benefit from aerobic exercise-training.
