Regulation of Muscle Protein Phenotype in Humans With Obesity
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Exercise for Obesity. Completed, enrolled 48 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
A hallmark of muscle changes in obesity is an altered muscle fiber type profile, characterized by a reduced proportion of Type I fibers - a shift associated with adverse obesity-related health outcomes. This alteration can be linked to changes in the expression of myosin heavy chain (MHC) protein isoforms in the skeletal muscle of individuals with obesity. The investigators aim to modulate the metabolism of muscle MHC isoforms to uncover the biological mechanisms underlying this disrupted expression pattern in muscle of humans with obesity.
