Muscle thickness correlates to muscle cross sectional area in the assessment of strength training induced hypertrophy (2017)
Journal Article
Franchi, M. V., Longo, S., Mallinson, J. E., Quinlan, J. I., Taylor, T., Greenhaff, P. L., & Narici, M. V. (in press). Muscle thickness correlates to muscle cross sectional area in the assessment of strength training induced hypertrophy. Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports, 28(3), https://doi.org/10.1111/sms.12961

Aim: Muscle thickness (MT) measured by ultrasound has been used to estimate cross-sectional area (measured by CT and MRI) at a single time-point. We tested whether MT could be used as a valid marker of MRI determined muscle anatomical cross-sectional...

Intramyocellular lipid content and lipogenic gene expression responses following a single bout of resistance type exercise differ between young and older men (2017)
Journal Article
Tsintzas, K., Stephens, F. B., Snijders, T., Wall, B. T., Cooper, S., Mallinson, J., …van Loon, L. J. (2017). Intramyocellular lipid content and lipogenic gene expression responses following a single bout of resistance type exercise differ between young and older men. Experimental Gerontology, 93, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.exger.2017.03.018

The aim of this study was to examine the temporal relationship between intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) content and the expression of genes associated with IMCL turnover, fat metabolism, and inflammation during recovery from an acute bout of resistance...
