The effect of acute and chronic exercise on hepatic lipid composition (2023)
Journal Article
Willis, S. A., Malaikah, S., Parry, S., Bawden, S., Ennequin, G., Sargeant, J. A., …King, J. A. (2023). The effect of acute and chronic exercise on hepatic lipid composition. Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports, 33(5), 550-568. https://doi.org/10.1111/sms.14310

Exercise is recommended for those with, or at risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), owing to beneficial effects on hepatic steatosis and cardiometabolic risk. Whilst exercise training reduces total intrahepatic lipid in people with NAFLD,... Read More about The effect of acute and chronic exercise on hepatic lipid composition.

Comparing magnetic resonance liver fat fraction measurements with histology in fibrosis: the difference between proton density fat fraction and tissue mass fat fraction (2022)
Journal Article
Bawden, S. J., Hoad, C., Kaye, P., Stephenson, M., Dolman, G., James, M. W., …Aithal, G. P. (2023). Comparing magnetic resonance liver fat fraction measurements with histology in fibrosis: the difference between proton density fat fraction and tissue mass fat fraction. Magnetic Resonance Materials in Physics, Biology and Medicine, 36(4), 553-563. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10334-022-01052-0

Objective: Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) provides a powerful method of measuring fat fraction. However, previous studies have shown that MRS results give lower values compared with visual estimates from biopsies in fibrotic livers. This study...

Effects of an isoenergetic low Glycaemic Index (GI) diet on liver fat accumulation and gut microbiota composition in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): A study protocol of an efficacy mechanism evaluation (2021)
Journal Article
Al-Awadi, A., Grove, J., Taylor, M., Valdes, A., Vijay, A., Bawden, S., …Aithal, G. (2021). Effects of an isoenergetic low Glycaemic Index (GI) diet on liver fat accumulation and gut microbiota composition in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): A study protocol of an efficacy mechanism evaluation. BMJ Open, 11(10), Article e045802. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2020-045802

Introduction A Low Glycaemic Index (LGI) diet is a proposed lifestyle intervention in non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD) which is designed to reduce circulating blood glucose levels, hepatic glucose influx, insulin resistance and de novo lipo...

The role of hepatic lipid composition in obesity-related metabolic disease (2021)
Journal Article
Willis, S. A., Bawden, S., Malaikah, S., Sargeant, J. A., Stensel, D. J., Aithal, G. P., & King, J. A. (2021). The role of hepatic lipid composition in obesity-related metabolic disease. Liver International, 41(12), 2819-2835. https://doi.org/10.1111/liv.15059

Obesity is a primary antecedent to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease whose cardinal feature is excessive hepatic lipid accumulation. Although total hepatic lipid content closely associates with hepatic and systemic metabolic dysfunction, accumulating...

Metabolic Imaging in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Applications of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (2021)
Journal Article
Thiagarajan, P., Bawden, S. J., & Aithal, G. P. (2021). Metabolic Imaging in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Applications of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. Journal of Clinical Medicine, 10(4), Article 632. https://doi.org/10.3390/jcm10040632

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is poised to dominate the landscape of clinical hepatology in the 21st century. Its complex, interdependent aetiologies, non-linear disease progression and uncertain natural history have presented great chall...

Current and future magnetic resonance technologies for assessing liver disease in clinical and experimental medicine (2017)
Journal Article
Bawden, S., Scott, R., & Authal, G. (in press). Current and future magnetic resonance technologies for assessing liver disease in clinical and experimental medicine. Digestive Diseases, 35(4), https://doi.org/10.1159/000456582

Background: In the past decades, a number of non-invasive methods have emerged for detecting and estimating liver fibrosis; these include both serum-based panels and imaging-based technology. Some of these methods are now being incorporated in clinic... Read More about Current and future magnetic resonance technologies for assessing liver disease in clinical and experimental medicine.

Corticotrophin releasing factor increases ascending colon volume after a fructose test meal in healthy humans: a randomised control trial (2016)
Journal Article
Murray, K., Lam, C., Rehman, S., Marciani, L., Costigan, C., Hoad, C., …Spiller, R. C. (2016). Corticotrophin releasing factor increases ascending colon volume after a fructose test meal in healthy humans: a randomised control trial. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 103(5), https://doi.org/10.3945/ajcn.115.125047

Background: Poorly absorbed, fermentable carbohydrates can provoke irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms by escaping absorption in the small bowel and being rapidly fermented in the colon in some susceptible subjects. IBS patients are often anxious... Read More about Corticotrophin releasing factor increases ascending colon volume after a fructose test meal in healthy humans: a randomised control trial.
