Transcriptional Adaptations Following Exercise In Thoroughbred Horse Skeletal Muscle Highlight Molecular Mechanisms That Lead To Muscle Hypertrophy

Transcriptional Adaptations Following Exercise In Thoroughbred Horse Skeletal Muscle Highlight Molecular Mechanisms That Lead To Muscle Hypertrophy: This study describes the molecular response to exercise in equine skeletal muscle and the process that leads to hypertrophy. Exercise stimulates immediate early molecular responses as well as delayed responses during recovery, resulting in a return to homeostasis and enabling long-term adaptation.
