Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Myoglobin facilitates oxygen diffusion. Myoglobin desaturates at the onset of muscle activity, which increases oxygen’s diffusion gradient from the capillaries to the cytoplasm.
Detailed explanation-2: -Conclusion. Aerobic exercise is a potent stimulus to increase mitochondrial mass and function in skeletal muscle. However, how the processes of mitochondrial biogenesis, dynamics and mitophagy are co-ordinated to facilitate this response is still unknown.
