55: Paternal Exercise Epigenetics: Sperm microRNAs Transmit Endurance to Offspring

This episode details experimental evidence demonstrating that paternal exercise in mice, either via treadmill training or muscle-specific genetic overexpression of PGC-1α, transmits enhanced endurance capacity and metabolic health to offspring.Yin X, Anwar A, Yan L, Yu R, Luo Y, Shi L, et al. Paternal exercise confers endurance capacity to offspring through sperm microRNAs.
