microRNA-1 Regulates Metabolic Flexibility in Skeletal Muscle via Pyruvate Metabolism

Ahmed Ismaeel, Bailey D. Peck, McLane M. Montgomery…·John Joseph McCarthy

This study shows miR-1 regulates metabolic flexibility in skeletal muscle by controlling pyruvate metabolism, with loss of miR-1 causing metabolic inflexibility and reduced endurance.

Acute exercise increases systemic kynurenine pathway metabolites and activates the AHR in human PBMCs

Niklas Joisten, David Walzik, Alexander Schenk…·Philipp Zimmer

This study shows acute exercise increases kynurenine pathway metabolites and activates the AHR in human PBMCs, linking exercise to immune modulation via this pathway.
