  • METHODS FOR ENHANCING EXERCISE PERFORMANCE
    Publication number: 20140005238
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for enhancing one or more effects of exercise in a subject by administering a PPAR? agonist (e.g., GW1516) to the subject in combination with an exercise program. Also disclosed are gene expression profiles unique to the combination of agonist-induced PPAR? activation and exercise. Such profiles are useful, at least, in methods for identifying the use of performance-enhancing drugs in exercised subjects (such as, professional or athletes). Direct interactions between PPAR? and exercised-induced kinases (e.g., AMPK or its subunits, AMPK ?1 and/or AMPK ?2) also are disclosed. Such protein-protein interactions provide new targets for identification of useful compounds.
