FIG. 12.
Exercise results in enhanced ROS production, which activates the p38γ MAPK, AMPK, and HIF1α pathways leading to mitochondrial biogenesis and angiogenesis that are an important part of exercise-induced adaptation. AMPK, AMP-activated protein kinase; HIF-1α, hypoxia-inducible factor-1a; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor.
