Acute and long-term exercise adaptation of adipose tissue and skeletal muscle in humans: a matched transcriptomics approach after 8-week training-intervention

Int J Obes (Lond)Published Mechanistic study

Authors' conclusion

Adipose tissue responds completely distinct from adaptations of skeletal muscle to exercise. The acute and repeated reduction in transcripts of lipid storage and lipogenesis, interconnected with a modulated circadian rhythm, can counteract metabolic syndrome progression toward diabetes.

Study context

Population
Sedentary participants (27 ± 4 yrs) with overweight or obesity; 8-week supervised endurance exercise 3×1h/week at 80% VO2peak8 female/6 male
Participants
14 participants
Comparison
Subcutaneous adipose tissue (SCAT) vs skeletal muscle response to acute and repeated exercise
Outcome
Acutely regulated transcripts (FC > 1.2, FDR < 10%) after first exercise bout
Follow-up
60 min after the first exercise bout
Methodological details8-week supervised endurance exercise intervention, matched transcriptomics of SCAT and skeletal muscle
  • 8-week supervised endurance exercise intervention
  • Matched transcriptomics of SCAT and skeletal muscle

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Transcripts regulated in both tissues
5
