Caffeine increases myoglobin expression via the cyclic AMP pathway in L6 myotubes

Abstract Myoglobin is an important regulator of muscle and whole‐body metabolism and exercise capacity. Caffeine, an activator of the calcium and cyclic AMP (cAMP)/protein kinase A (PKA) pathway, enhances glucose uptake, fat oxidation, and mitochondrial biogenesis in skeletal muscle cells. However,...
