Gene Targeting Turns Mice into
Long-Distance Runners
Endurance training can enhance the
metabolic performance of muscle types,
and now it appears that training can also
induce conversion between ?ber types.
Speci?c changes in gene expression
trigger this oxidative ?ber transformation,
and decreased level of specialized type
II contractile proteins in the transgenic
mice. Interestingly, these same results
were seen when naturally occurring
(endogenous) PPARδ levels were
stimulated in the normal mice (with
an orally active compound).
This suggests that muscle ?bers
can be transformed into type
I endurance ?bers by simply
activating the endogenous PPARδ
pathway.
In a weight-conscious world,
oxidative ?bers are thought to
offer resistance against obesity

Have you ever noticed that long-
distance runners and sprinters seem
specially engineered for their
sports? One’s built for distance,
the other speed.The ability to
generate quick bursts of power or
sustain long periods of exertion
depends primarily on your muscle
?ber type ratio (muscle cells are
called ?bers), which depends on
your genes.To this extent, elite
athletes are born, not made.
No matter how hard you train
or how many performance-
enhancing drugs you take, if
you’re not blessed with the muscle
composition of a sprinter, you’re
not going to break the 100-meter
world record in your lifetime. (In
case you’d like to try, that’s 9.78
seconds for a man and 10.49
seconds for a woman.)
since obese individuals have
fewer type I ?bers than average-
weight individuals. Sure enough,
transgenic mice fed a high-fat
diet gained far less weight than
normal mice fed the same diet,
even in the absence of exercise.
The transgenic mice had much
smaller fat cells, which the authors
attribute to enhanced oxidative
capacity of the muscle tissue,
and improved glucose tolerance.
