  • Description: The effect of an acute rHuEPO injection on skeletal muscle mitochondrial function was investigated in young healthy male subjects. rHuEPO has an acute effect on skeletal muscle mitochondrial respiratory capacity in humans, where an increased mitochondrial respiratory capacity was seen. This could be the first step leading to increased mitochondrial biogenesis.
