Unloading by 7 days of hindlimb suspension significantly attenuated the relative concentrations of transcriptional enhancer factor 1 and myogenin factors, leading to downregulation of MHC1.
Unloading-induced downregulation of MHC1 in rat soleus muscle is mediated by decreased availability of specific transcription factors binding to proximal promoter elements.

Transcription factor mediation of MHC1 downregulation in rat unloading extends mechanistic knowledge; leaves open human applicability.
Giger et al. (2005) studied Unloading-induced muscle adaptation. Hindlimb suspension (unloading) vs. Control rats was evaluated on MHC1 gene activity and transcription factor binding. Unloading by 7 days of hindlimb suspension significantly attenuated the relative concentrations of transcriptional enhancer factor 1 and myogenin factors, leading to downregulation of MHC1.
