- Registration Number
- NCT01911091
- Lead Sponsor
- AdventHealth Translational Research Institute
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to collect data to help researchers identify factors, such as certain proteins or genetic codes, that are secreted from muscle that are associated with the beneficial effects of exercise.
- Detailed Description
Study Objectives:
1. To identify specific changes in messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)/micro ribonucleic acid (miRNA) expression in muscle associated with higher or lower relative measures of mitochondrial capacity and fat oxidation.
2. To identify secreted factors/miRNAs that specifically relate to the metabolic response of muscle and that are present after a single initial bout of exercise.
3. To collect the appropriate clinical samples (muscle and adipose tissue, plasma/serum) to enable validation of myokines associated with changes in oxygen consumption/mitochondrial content via in vivo and in vitro discovery efforts.

Group Intervention Description Group 1 - Regular exercise Exercise Alternate interval training and aerobic training and exercise
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Measure change in mitochondrial capacity Baseline (Day -6), Day 18 The difference will be measured in obese, lean and athletic participants.
The Phosphocreatine (PCr) recovery time constant and the PCr level in oxygenated muscle at rest will be used to calculate maximum mitochondrial capacity.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Measure change of expression of proteins Baseline (Day -6), Day 0, Day 5, Day 12, Day 18 The difference will be measured in obese, lean and athletic participants.
This will be taken from muscle biopsy and/or blood plasma samples obtained at baseline, before and after exercise.Measure change in mRNA/miRNA levels Baseline (Day -6), Day 0, Day 5, Day 12, Day 18 The difference will be measured in obese, lean and athletic participants.
This will be taken from muscle biopsy and/or blood plasma samples obtained at baseline, before and after exercise.
