Cells use glycolytic intermediates for anabolism e.g., via the serine synthesis and pentose phosphate pathways. However, we still understand poorly how these metabolic pathways contribute to skeletal muscle cell biomass generation. The first aim of this study was therefore to identify enzymes tha...
Background
Regular physical activity is known to benefit health but the long-term effects of specific exercise training on human metabolism remain incompletely described. In this study, we comprehensively characterized the blood metabolomes of male athletes with distinct exercise-adapted me...
