    Abstract

    Adaptation of muscle to endurance exercise training involves the coordinated expression of genes involved in oxidative metabolism, resulting in increased endurance. A recent study shows that small-molecule activators of two pathways thought to transduce these effects can enhance the effects of training, or even substitute for it.
