Postdoc at @UoE_NPG 👨🔬 Exploring the interplay of nutrition, physiology, performance and health
Delighted to share our latest: We show that consuming a protein drink via a nasogastric tube increases plasma amino acid and insulin concentrations, but does not influence whole body or muscle protein synthesis. @marloudirks @uoe_npg @BenjaminTWall doi.org/10.1042/CS2023…
📢 Are you researching the underlying causes of muscle loss in the context of #ageing, disuse, inactivity, and #malnutrition? Submit an abstract to share your work at the #MuscleLoss meeting on 4-5 September at @UniofExeter. Deadline extended to 30 June: buff.ly/3xiNx4h
📢 Abstract submission is now OPEN for the: New Perspectives on the Physiological Basis of #MuscleLoss meeting taking place on 4 – 5 September at @UniofExeter. Don't miss out on the opportunity to share your research, submit by 3 June: buff.ly/3w4BreA
Possibly our biggest, most-logistically complex study yet: A four-week mycoprotein intervention reduces serum cholesterol concentrations in community-dwelling, overweight adults. @BenjaminTWall @IniestaRevuelta @uoe_npg clinicalnutritionjournal.com/article/S0261-…
Grateful for a valuable 6 months postdoc-ing under the brilliant @DrBPCarson and @NortonNutrition. It's been a rewarding journey, and I'm excited for what lies ahead!

Thanks for having me, Gillian! We discussed: 💊 How do anti-diabetes medications work? 🌿 Are there natural alternatives? 🧑🔬 Our latest findings at UL 🙋 How you can take part in our current work in people with Type 2 Diabetes @DrBPCarson @UL @UL_Research @PessLimerick
LISTEN BACK! 🎙️Podcast | UL Obesity Research shows.acast.com/60b372fb-6c93-…

🩸 Do you have type 2 diabetes? 🌿Are you interested in alternative proteins? 🙋We're looking for volunteers for a study investigating whether plant proteins can improve glucose control. If interested DM myself or @DrBPCarson #Diabetes #Nutrition

New in @AJPEndoMetab: Sam West et al. showed that three non-animal derived #protein sources have utility in supporting post-exercise muscle reconditioning. ow.ly/sCG750PsNxT @UniofExeter @utmbhealth #mycoprotein #peaprotein #resistanceexercise
Publication alert! 🎉📜Congrats to our colleague @Kiera1Wilkinson for publishing a systematic review on leucine and muscle protein synthesis rates in the journal @PhysRep @ThePhySoc Coauthors: @Ckoscien Dr A Monteyne @BenjaminTWall Prof F Stephens 👇👇 physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.14814/p…
In today’s blog, Dr George Pavis from PESS tells us: 🩸 How protein can help manage type 2 diabetes. 🌿 How you can take part in new research to help us discover more. pess.blog/2023/07/25/the… @GPavis #DiabetesResearch #SeaweedProtein #PostgradAtUL #StayCurious
We are recruiting Type 2 Diabetics in the Limerick & surrounding regions for a study investigating the effect of alternative plant proteins on glucose control. If interested DM myself or @GPavis #Diabetes #Nutrition
Delighted to share our latest work in @JCSM_cachexia : Short-term disuse does not affect postabsorptive or postprandial muscle protein fractional breakdown rates. With @marloudirks @BenjaminTWall @uoe_npg onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jc…
Recent publication in @jnutritionorg led by Dr Alistair Monteyne of @uoe_npg examining muscle protein synthesis and muscle adaptive responses during prolonged resistance training while consuming vegan or omnivorous diets. @Journalofnutrition sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Does acute ketone monoester supplementation enhance the recovery of muscle force and modulate circulating cytokine concentrations after muscle-damaging eccentric exercise? Read our new research paper to find out more @tsojameson pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36114653/ #ketone #supplementation
The second monster study @tsojameson and I conducted during our PhDs: Daily protein-polyphenol ingestion increases daily myofibrillar protein synthesis rates and promotes early muscle functional gains during resistance training. @uoe_npg @UniofExeter @ExeterSHS
Daily Protein-Polyphenol Ingestion Increases Daily Myofibrillar Protein Synthesis Rates and Promotes Early Muscle Functional Gains During Resistance Training; new #ResearchArticle in press: ow.ly/wZ6k50HA4rc #resistancetraining #proteinsynthesis #proteinpolyphenol
Our latest work attempting to ‘complicate’ experimental muscle disuse
In press: New research suggests that prior muscle-damaging eccentric exercise increases myofibrillar protein synthesis and prevents loss of quadriceps muscle volume after 2 (but not 7) days of disuse: ow.ly/dyFs50Gpgfg @tsojameson @BenjaminTWall @marloudirks
This is the best #immunology meme ever created. Fight me.
UoE is recruiting volunteers in Devon/Birmingham. If you'd like free Quorn or meat/fish delivered to your home for 4 weeks, health checks without the need to attend in person (all virtual or phone) or are interested in science, get in touch with us. See contact details below:
