55: Paternal Exercise Epigenetics: Sperm microRNAs Transmit Endurance to Offspring
from Listen, Learn, Adapt · host Anthony Novello
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.
