TOPICS:DNAEpigeneticsExerciseGeneticsGenomeLund University By SARA LIEDHOLM, LUND UNIVERSITY AUGUST 1, 2013 A study from scientists at Lund University found that exercise induces genome-wide changes in DNA methylation in human adipose tissue, potentially affecting adipocyte metabolism. Exercise, even in small doses, changes the expression of our innate DNA. New research from Lund University in Sweden has described for the first time what happens on an epigenetic level in fat cells when we undertake physical activity. “Our study shows the positive effects of exercise, because the epigenetic […]
