Brown, D. M., Williams, H., Ryan, K., Wilson, T., Daniel, Z. C., Mareko, M. H. D., Emes, R. D., Harris, D. W., Wattis, J. A., Dryden, I. L., Hodgman, T. C., Brameld, J. M., & Parr, T. (2016). Mitochondrial phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK-M) and serine biosynthetic pathway genes are co-ordinately increased during anabolic agent-induced skeletal muscle growth. Scientific Reports, 6(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/srep28693

We aimed to identify novel molecular mechanisms for muscle growth during administration of anabolic agents. Growing pigs (Duroc/(Landrace/Large-White)) were administered Ractopamine (a beta-adrenergic agonist; BA; 20ppm in feed) or Reporcin (recombin...

The effects of insulin resistance on individual tissues: an application of a mathematical model of metabolism in humans (2016)
Journal Article
Pearson, T., Wattis, J. A., King, J., McDonald, I., & Mazzatti, D. (in press). The effects of insulin resistance on individual tissues: an application of a mathematical model of metabolism in humans. Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 78(6), https://doi.org/10.1007/s11538-016-0181-1

Whilst the human body expends energy constantly, the human diet consists of a mix of carbohydrates and fats delivered in a discontinuous manner. To deal with this sporadic supply of energy, there are transport, storage and utilisation mechanisms, for...
