| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is well known that exercise induces mitochondrial biogenesis in skeletal muscle. The aim of our study was to examine the effect of exercise on DNA methylation. DNMT1 (DNA methyltransferase 1) protein content was not altered after exercise training, but significantly decreased after denervation in skeletal muscle. Our observations suggest that inactivity-induced muscle dysfunction may be induced by increased DNA methylation levels.
