Antecubital Vein Cannula Position Impacts Assessment of Forearm Glucose Uptake During an Oral Glucose Challenge in Healthy Volunteers (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 Lippincott Williams and Wilkins. All rights reserved. Introduction Skeletal muscle is a major site for whole-body glucose disposal, and determination of skeletal muscle glucose uptake is an important metabolic measurement, particularly in rese...

Associations between plasma branched chain amino acids and health biomarkers in response to resistance exercise training across age (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Leucine, isoleucine and valine (i.e., the branched chain amino acids, BCAA) play a key role in the support and regulation of tissue protein regulation and also as energy substrates. However, p...

The East Midlands Knee Pain Multiple Randomised Controlled Trial Cohort Study: Cohort Establishment and Feasibility study protocol (2020)
Journal Article

Introduction: Knee pain and osteoarthritis (OA) are a common cause of disability. The UK National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) OA guidelines recommend education, exercise and weight-loss advice (if overweight) as core interventions...

Submaximal Eccentric Cycling in People With COPD: Acute Whole-Body Cardiopulmonary and Muscle Metabolic Responses (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 American College of Chest Physicians Background: Eccentric cycling (ECC) may be an attractive exercise method in COPD because of both low cardiorespiratory demand and perception of effort compared with conventional concentric cycling (CON) at...

The clinical usefulness of muscle mass and strength measures in older people: a systematic review (2020)
Journal Article

Background: Sarcopenia is the loss of muscle mass and quality and is diagnosed using measures of muscle strength, size and mass. We evaluated the literature on whether sarcopenia measures are predictive of motor outcomes in older people in clinical...

Major elective abdominal surgery acutely impairs lower limb muscle pyruvate dehydrogenase complex activity and mitochondrial function (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 The Author(s) Background & aims: This post hoc study aimed to determine whether major elective abdominal surgery had any acute impact on mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) activity and maximal mitochondrial ATP production rates... Read More about Major elective abdominal surgery acutely impairs lower limb muscle pyruvate dehydrogenase complex activity and mitochondrial function.

Untargeted metabolomics for uncovering biological markers of human skeletal muscle ageing (2020)
Journal Article

Ageing compromises skeletal muscle mass and function through poorly defined molecular aetiology. Here we have used untargeted metabolomics using UHPLC-MS to profile muscle tissue from young (n=10, 25±4y), middle aged (n=18, 50±4y) and older (n=18, 70...

Perioperative nutrition: Recommendations from the ESPEN expert group (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 Elsevier Ltd and European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism Background & aims: Malnutrition has been recognized as a major risk factor for adverse postoperative outcomes. The ESPEN Symposium on perioperative nutrition was held in N... Read More about Perioperative nutrition: Recommendations from the ESPEN expert group.

Investigating musculoskeletal health and wellbeing; A cohort study protocol (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 The Author(s). Background: In an ageing population, pain, frailty and disability frequently coexist across a wide range of musculoskeletal diagnoses, but their associations remain incompletely understood. The Investigating Musculoskeletal Heal... Read More about Investigating musculoskeletal health and wellbeing; A cohort study protocol.
