when the protein PGC-1Q is genetically introduced in mice, easily fatigued type II muscle fibers are transformed into fatigue-resistant, mitochondria-rich, or energy-producing, type I muscle fibers that mimic highly exercised muscles.
Wouldn't that be contrary to the goal of gaining mass though? As I remember it's type II, fast twitch fibers A and B that hypertrophy the most, with type I fibers showing little or no hypertrophy when put through resistance training.
