PAOLO COMEGLIO is an academic who published a paper in 2017 entitled Physical activity modify skeletal muscle fiber types in an animal model of metabolic syndrome. PAOLO COMEGLIO published this work as part of a team: Sarchielli, Erica. Here is a description of this work: Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of clinical conditions, associated to an increased cardiovascular risk, as well as to hypogonadism in males. Lifestyle modification (including physical exercise, PhyEx) may be beneficial for the condition. Skeletal muscles (SkM) are some of the most highly plastic tissues, able of remodeling in response to use, disuse and disease. In particular, transformations of fiber type may occur in response to physiological milieu to induce functional adaptations. This study is aimed at investigating in experimental MetS, high fat diet-induced in male rabbits [1], the effect of PhyEx on hormonal and metabolic parameters, as well as on SkM composition. Control and MetS rabbits were exercise-trained to run on a treadmill for 12 weeks. Quadriceps femoris samples were collected for histomorphological and gene expr.
