• Dual specificity phosphatase 5 and 6 are oppositely regulated in human skeletal muscle by acute exercise 

      Pourteymour, Shirin; Hjorth, Marit; Lee-Ødegård, Sindre; Holen, Torgeir; Langleite, Torgrim Mikal; Jensen, Jørgen; Birkeland, Kåre I.; Drevon, Christian A; Eckardt, Kristin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Physical activity promotes specific adaptations in most tissues including skeletal muscle. Acute exercise activates numerous signaling cascades including pathways involving mitogen‐activated protein kinases (MAPKs) such ...
    • Global mRNA sequencing of human skeletal muscle: Search for novel exercise-regulated myokines 

      Pourteymour, Shirin; Eckardt, Kristin; Holen, Torgeir; Langleite, Torgrim Mikal; Lee, Sindre; Jensen, Jørgen; Birkeland, Kåre I.; Drevon, Christian A.; Hjorth, Marit (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-01)
      Objective: Skeletal muscle is an important secretory organ, producing and releasing numerous myokines, which may be involved in mediating beneficial health effects of physical activity. More than 100 myokines have been ...
    • Subsarcolemmal lipid droplet responses to a combined endurance and strength exercise intervention 

      Li, Yuchuan; Lee, Sindre; Langleite, Torgrim; Norheim, Frode; Pourteymour, Shirin; Jensen, Jørgen; Stadheim, Hans Kristian; Storås, Tryggve H.; Davanger, Svend; Gulseth, Hanne L.; Birkeland, Kåre I.; Drevon, Christian A.; Holen, Torgeir (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Muscle lipid stores and insulin sensitivity have a recognized association although the mechanism remains unclear. We investigated how a 12‐week supervised combined endurance and strength exercise intervention influenced ...
    • The effect of acute and long‐term physical activity on extracellular matrix and serglycin in human skeletal muscle 

      Hjorth, Marit; Norheim, Frode; Meen, Astri Jeanette; Pourteymour, Shirin; Lee, Sindre; Holen, Torgeir; Jensen, Jørgen; Birkeland, Kåre I.; Martinov, Vladimir Nikolkaev; Langleite, Torgrim Mikal; Eckardt, Kristin; Drevon, Christian A.; Kolset, Svein Olav (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-19)
      Remodeling of extracellular matrix (ECM), including regulation of proteoglycans in skeletal muscle can be important for physiological adaptation to exercise. To investigate the effects of acute and long‐term exercise on ...
