Exogenous Beta-guanidinopropionic acid administration enhances electromyostimulation-induced mitochondrial biogenesis in rat skeletal muscle
Exercise training induces several skeletal muscle adaptations. Beta-guanidinopropionic acid (β-GPA) is a creatine analog that simulates the effect of exercise to induce mitochondrial biogenesis. However, the effects of β-GPA on resistance training adaptation, such as muscle hypertrophy and mitochond...

| Summary: | Exercise training induces several skeletal muscle adaptations. Beta-guanidinopropionic acid (β-GPA) is a creatine analog that simulates the effect of exercise to induce mitochondrial biogenesis. However, the effects of β-GPA on resistance training adaptation, such as muscle hypertrophy and mitochondrial biogenesis, are unclear. Therefore, using a resistance exercise model in rats, the present study was designed to investigate the effects of β-GPA administration on resistance training adaptations. |
