AQP4-dependent water transport plays a functional role in exercise-induced skeletal muscle adaptations.

AQP4-dependent water transport plays a functional role in exercise-induced skeletal muscle adaptations.

In this study we assess the functional role of Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) in the skeletal muscle by analyzing whether physical activity modulates AQP4 expression and whether the absence of AQP4 has an effect on osmotic behavior, muscle contractile properties, and physical activity. To this purpose, rats and...
