Journal Article
Lobo, D. N., Skořepa, P., Gomez, D., & Greenhaff, P. L. (2022). Prehabilitation: high-quality evidence is still required. British Journal of Anaesthesia, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bja.2022.09.016

Prehabilitation comprises multidisciplinary healthcare interventions, including exercise, nutritional optimisation, and psychological preparation, which aim to dampen the metabolic response to surgery, shorten the period of recovery, reduce complicat...

M1 macrophages evoke an increase in polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (PIGR) expression in MDA-MB468 breast cancer cells through secretion of interleukin-1β (2022)
Journal Article
Asanprakit, W., Lobo, D. N., Eremin, O., & Bennett, A. J. (2022). M1 macrophages evoke an increase in polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (PIGR) expression in MDA-MB468 breast cancer cells through secretion of interleukin-1β. Scientific Reports, 12(1), Article 16842. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-20811-6

High expression of polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (PIGR) in breast cancer is associated with increased 5-year survival rate. However, the factors influencing PIGR expression in breast cancer have not been elucidated. The aim of this study was to d...

Human adaptation to immobilization: Novel insights of impacts on glucose disposal and fuel utilization (2022)
Journal Article
Shur, N. F., Simpson, E. J., Crossland, H., Chivaka, P. K., Constantin, D., Cordon, S. M., …Greenhaff, P. L. (2022). Human adaptation to immobilization: Novel insights of impacts on glucose disposal and fuel utilization. Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 13(6), 2999-3013. https://doi.org/10.1002/jcsm.13075

Background: Bed rest (BR) reduces whole-body insulin-stimulated glucose disposal (GD) and alters muscle fuel metabolism, but little is known about metabolic adaptation from acute to chronic BR nor the mechanisms involved, particularly when volunteers...

The effects of elective abdominal surgery on protein turnover: A meta-analysis of stable isotope techniques to investigate postoperative catabolism (2022)
Journal Article
Jaconelli, M., Greenhaff, P. L., Atherton, P. J., Lobo, D. N., & Brook, M. S. (2022). The effects of elective abdominal surgery on protein turnover: A meta-analysis of stable isotope techniques to investigate postoperative catabolism. Clinical Nutrition, 41(3), 709-722. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clnu.2022.01.023

Background & aims Elective surgery induces skeletal muscle wasting driven by an imbalance between muscle protein synthesis and breakdown. From examination of diverse stable isotope tracer techniques, the dynamic processes driving this imbalance ar...
