Glycogen in the brain contributes to hippocampus-related memory functions and endurance capacity.
Endurance capacity in trained mJNKKO was 45% higher compared to wild-type controls (Fig. 1a).
Endurance capacity was similar in untrained WT and mJNKKO animals, demonstrating that increased endurance capacity in mJNKKO was due to enhanced adaptation to training, rather than intrinsic differences between genotypes (Fig. 1a).
Matsui, T. et al. Astrocytic glycogen-derived lactate fuels the brain during exhaustive exercise to maintain endurance capacity.
Mouisel, E. et al. Myostatin is a key mediator between energy metabolism and endurance capacity of skeletal muscle.
These data demonstrate that skeletal muscle JNK activation during exercise is a negative regulator of improvements to endurance capacity.
The whole-body endurance capacity remained stable over the studied period.
After 3-wk intervention, endurance capacity was evaluated (total running time and distance until exhaustion).
"They've been able to show that just by increasing plasma volume in subjects you can increase their endurance capacity," Dr. Wilmore said.
Hydroxytyrosol (HT), a natural olive polyphenol, efficiently enhanced endurance capacity and prevented Exe-induced renal and immune system damage.
Mice fed a BM diet had significantly less body fat, with increased muscle percentage and improved endurance capacity.
