Dietary Regulation of Fat Oxidative Gene Expression in Different Skeletal Muscle Fiber Types

Objective : To determine the effect of a high‐fat diet on the expression of genes important for fat oxidation, the protein abundance of the transcription factors peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor (PPAR) isoforms α and γ, and selected enzyme activities in type I and II skeletal muscle. Re…
