Four weeks one-leg training and high fat diet does not alter PPARα protein or mRNA expression in human skeletal muscle

Fatty acid metabolism is influenced by training and diet with exercise training mediating this through activation of nuclear hormone receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) in skeletal muscle. This study investigated the effect of training and high fat or normal diet on PPARα expression in human skeletal muscle. Thirteen men trained one leg (T) four weeks (31.5 h in total), while the other leg (UT) served as control. …
