In human vastus lateralis biopsies, MGF mRNA rose 4.5-fold 2.5 hours after a single bout of resistance exercise compared with pre-exercise baseline, while systemic IGF-1 did not change significantly, suggesting a paracrine rather than endocrine role [13]
Interestingly, another mechanism was proposed as an alternative way to stabilize NRF2 through the interaction between the autophagy adaptor protein p62/sequestosome-1 (p62/SQSTM1) and KEAP1, which leads to the sequestration of KEAP1 in the autophagy-deficient cells and enables NRF2 accumulation [20]
