Equine Skeletal Muscle Transcriptome Identifies Novel Functional Responses To Exercise Training

Equine Skeletal Muscle Transcriptome Identifies Novel Functional Responses To Exercise Training: Exercise training in the Thoroughbred racehorse results in co-ordinate changes in gene expression of functional groups of genes related to metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation and muscle structure. Myostatin is central to the adaptation of skeletal muscle to training.
