“…Chronic effects of exercise Of the eleven eligible studies 2,17-20,41,63-68 that examined the link between PGC-1a with FNDC5 in muscle in response to chronic exercise, only two 17,67 showed that chronic exercise increased PGC1a and FNDC5 mRNA in muscle, while four studies 19,20,63,64 showed no effect of chronic exercise on PGC-1a and FNDC5 mRNA in muscle. In the five studies that only measured FNDC5 in muscle, one study 2 found increased and four 18,41,65,66 showed no effect of chronic exercise on FNDC5 mRNA in muscle.…”
