Journal ArticleDOI
Exercise genomics—a paradigm shift is needed: a commentary
TL;DR: The aim of this report is to briefly comment on the current status of exercise genetics and genomics and to suggest potential improvements to the research agenda and translational activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Pro12Ala PPARgamma2 gene missense mutation is associated with obesity and insulin resistance in Swedish middle-aged men.
TL;DR: The Pro12Ala PPARγ2 polymorphism has been variably associated with obesity, insulin sensitivity, and dyslipidemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma post-heparin lipase activities in the HERITAGE Family Study: The reproducibility, gender differences, and associations with lipoprotein levels
Jean-Pierre Després,Jacques Gagnon,Jean Bergeron,Charles Couillard,Arthur S. Leon,D. C. Rao,James S. Skinner,Jack H. Wilmore,Claude Bouchard +8 more
TL;DR: The reproducibility of plasma lipid and lipoprotein measurements, as well as of post-heparin lipase activities, is good in the multicenter HERITAGE Family Study, and results support the notion that the higher LPL and low HL activities found in women compared to men are important factors contributing to explain gender difference in the lipop protein profile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrative pathway analysis of a genome-wide association study of V̇o2max response to exercise training
Sujoy Ghosh,Juan C. Vivar,Mark A. Sarzynski,Yun Ju Sung,James A. Timmons,Claude Bouchard,Tuomo Rankinen +6 more
TL;DR: A genome-wide association study of the response of maximal oxygen uptake (Vo2max) to an exercise program finds long-chain fatty acid transport and fatty acid oxidation genes and sequence variants were found to influence differences in Vo2max trainability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of apolipoprotein E polymorphism with blood lipids and maximal oxygen uptake in the sedentary state and after exercise training in the HERITAGE family study
Arthur S. Leon,Kenji Togashi,Tuomo Rankinen,Jean-Pierre Després,D. C. Rao,James S. Skinner,Jack H. Wilmore,Claude Bouchard +7 more
TL;DR: Racial and sex differences were noted in lipid responses to exercise training across genotypes with a significantly greater increase in HDL cholesterol observed only in white female carriers of apo E 2/3 and E3/3, as compared to apoE4/4.
