Epigenetic Modulation of the ACE System Underlies the Slow Aerobic Muscle Phenotype and Metabolic Exercise Response

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 6, 31 March 2026.
Weekly moderate‐to‐vigorous activity (≈6 h) induced a marked increase in ACE promoter methylation in exercised knee‐extensor muscle. In combination with the ACE I/D genotype, ACE methylation contributed to ACE gene activity regulation in ways aligning with the slow‐twitch, aerobic muscle phenotype and its metabolic response to endurance exercise ...
