Basal and exercise-induced regulation of skeletal muscle capillarization.
Regulation of skeletal muscle capillarization involves distinct signaling pathways and growth factors including nitric oxide and vascular endothelial growth factor. Our understanding of this complex regulation continues to expand with the identification of new angiogenic growth factors. Future work needs to increase the use of advanced molecular techniques to expand our knowledge of the regulation of basal and exercise-induced capillarization.
