Does exercise protect cardiac mitochondria against ischemia-reperfusion injury?
Exercise induces mitochondrial adaptations that protect the heart against ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Collectively, these novel findings reveal that exercise-induced cardioprotection is mediated, at least in part, through mitochondrial adaptations resulting in a mitochondrial phenotype that resists IR-induced damage.
Lee et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
