Epigenetic Modifications To DNA Caused By Exercise

You might think that the Dna you inherited is one thing that you absolutely can't do anything about, but in one sense you'd be wrong. Researchers reporting in the March issue of Cell Metabolism, a Cell Press publication, have found that when healthy but inactive men and women exercise for a matter of minutes, it produces a rather immediate change to their DNA. Perhaps even more tantalizing, the study suggests that the caffeine in your morning coffee might also influence muscle in essentially the same way... read more..

Exercise Linked To Change In DNA

A recent study, published in Cell Metabolism , and conducted by researchers at the Karolinska Institute, demonstrates that exercise almost immediately alters DNA in healthy inactive men and women. The researchers explain that although the genetic makeup is not altered, DNA molecules change structurally and chemically when a person exercises. An example of this is the DNA gaining more or losing parts of methyl groups that are found on sequences of DNA families... read more..
