Journal Article
Blackwell, J. E., Gharahdaghi, N., Deane, C. S., Brook, M. S., Williams, J. P., Lund, J. N., Atherton, P. J., Smith, K., Wilkinson, D. J., & Phillips, B. E. (2024). Molecular mechanisms underpinning favourable physiological adaptations to exercise prehabilitation for urological cancer surgery. Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases, 27, 219-231. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41391-023-00774-z

BACKGROUND: Surgery for urological cancers is associated with high complication rates and survivors commonly experience fatigue, reduced physical ability and quality of life. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) as surgical prehabilitation has bee...

Menstrual Cycle Associated Alteration of Vastus Lateralis Motor Unit Function (2023)
Journal Article
Piasecki, J., Guo, Y., Jones, E. J., Phillips, B. E., Stashuk, D. W., Atherton, P. J., & Piasecki, M. (2023). Menstrual Cycle Associated Alteration of Vastus Lateralis Motor Unit Function. Sports Medicine - Open, 9, Article 97. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40798-023-00639-8

Background: Estrogen and progesterone are the primary female sex hormones and have net excitatory and inhibitory effects, respectively, on neuronal function. Fluctuating concentrations across the menstrual cycle has led to several lines of research i... Read More about Menstrual Cycle Associated Alteration of Vastus Lateralis Motor Unit Function.

Protein dose requirements to maximise skeletal muscle protein synthesis after repeated bouts of resistance exercise in young trained women (2023)
Journal Article
Mallinson, J. E., Wardle, S. L., O'Leary, T. J., Greeves, J. P., Cegielski, J., Bass, J., Brook, M. S., Wilkinson, D. J., Smith, K., Atherton, P. J., & Greenhaff, P. L. (2023). Protein dose requirements to maximise skeletal muscle protein synthesis after repeated bouts of resistance exercise in young trained women. Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports, 33(12), 2470-2481. https://doi.org/10.1111/sms.14506

Studies examining the effect of protein (PRO) feeding on post resistance exercise (RE) muscle protein synthesis (MPS) have primarily been performed in men, and little evidence is available regarding the quantity of PRO required to maximally stimulate...

#3716 EFFECT OF IMMUNO-NUTRITION ON SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATION AND MUSCLE MASS IN A HAEMODIALYSIS POPULATION: A FEASIBILITY STUDY (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hörner, D. V., Phillips, B., Atherton, P., Smith, K., Wilkinson, D., Selby, N., & Taal, M. (2023, June). #3716 EFFECT OF IMMUNO-NUTRITION ON SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATION AND MUSCLE MASS IN A HAEMODIALYSIS POPULATION: A FEASIBILITY STUDY. Presented at 60th European Renal Association Congress, Milan, Italy and online

Background and Aims
Decreased skeletal muscle mass (SMM) and systemic inflammation are frequent complications associated with poor outcomes in people receiving haemodialysis. Although these problems are widely acknowledged, it has become clear that...

Contrast‐enhanced ultrasound repeatability for the measurement of skeletal muscle microvascular blood flow (2023)
Journal Article
Jones, E. J., Atherton, P. J., Piasecki, M., & Phillips, B. E. (2023). Contrast‐enhanced ultrasound repeatability for the measurement of skeletal muscle microvascular blood flow. Experimental Physiology, 108(4), 549-553. https://doi.org/10.1113/ep091034

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can be used to directly assess skeletal muscle perfusion. However, its repeatability over time has not yet been validated and therefore its use in longitudinal measures (i.e., exploring the impact of a chronic inte...
