Journal Article
Bass, J. J., Nakhuda, A., Deane, C. S., Brook, M. S., Wilkinson, D. J., Phillips, B. E., …Atherton, P. J. (2020). Overexpression of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) induces skeletal muscle hypertrophy. Molecular Metabolism, 42, Article 101059. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.molmet.2020.101059

Objective The Vitamin D receptor (VDR) has been positively associated with skeletal muscle mass, function and regeneration. Mechanistic studies have focused upon loss of the receptor, with in vivo whole-body knockout models demonstrating reduced myo...

A novel stable isotope tracer method to simultaneously quantify skeletal muscle protein synthesis and breakdown (2020)
Journal Article
Atherton, P. J., Crossland, H., Smith, K., Atherton, P. J., & Wilkinson, D. J. (2020). A novel stable isotope tracer method to simultaneously quantify skeletal muscle protein synthesis and breakdown. Metabolism Open, 5, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.metop.2020.100022

Background/Aims: Methodological challenges have been associated with the dynamic measurement of muscle protein breakdown (MPB), as have the measurement of both muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and MPB within the same experiment. Our aim was to use the... Read More about A novel stable isotope tracer method to simultaneously quantify skeletal muscle protein synthesis and breakdown.
