Abstract
Exercise stimulates PGC-1alpha gene expression and increases V O2max, the latter of which relates inversely with type 2 diabetes risk. Consistently, low levels of PGC-1alpha mRNA and nucleotide sequence variation at PGC-1alpha associate with lower level of V O2max and increased diabetes risk. Thus, PGC-1alpha sequence variation may interact with physical activity to modify diabetes risk via changes in oxidative energy metabolism.Entities:
