Greater loss of mitochondrial function with ageing is associated with earlier onset of sarcopenia in C. elegans (2018)
Journal Article
Gaffney, C. J., Pollard, A., Barratt, T. F., Constantin-Teodosiu, D., Greenhaff, P. L., & Szewczyk, N. J. (2018). Greater loss of mitochondrial function with ageing is associated with earlier onset of sarcopenia in C. elegans. Aging, 10(11), 3382-3396. https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.101654

Sarcopenia, the age-related decline of muscle, is a significant and growing public health burden. C. elegans, a model organism for investigating the mechanisms of ageing, also displays sarcopenia, but the underlying mechanism(s) remain elusive. Here,...

The impact of immobilisation and inflammation on the regulation of muscle mass and insulin resistance: different routes to similar end points (2018)
Journal Article
Crossland, H., Skirrow, S., Puthucheary, Z. A., Constantin-Teodosiu, D., & Greenhaff, P. L. (2018). The impact of immobilisation and inflammation on the regulation of muscle mass and insulin resistance: different routes to similar end points. Journal of Physiology, 597(5), 1259-1270. https://doi.org/10.1113/jp275444

Loss of muscle mass and insulin sensitivity are common phenotypic traits of immobilisation and increased inflammatory burden. The suppression of muscle protein synthesis is the primary driver of muscle mass loss in human immobilisation, and includes...

Increasing cardiac pyruvate dehydrogenase flux during chronic hypoxia improves acute hypoxic tolerance (2018)
Journal Article
Handzlik, M., Constantin-Teodosiu, D., Greenhaff, P. L., & Cole, M. (2018). Increasing cardiac pyruvate dehydrogenase flux during chronic hypoxia improves acute hypoxic tolerance. Journal of Physiology, 596(15), 3357-3369. https://doi.org/10.1113/JP275357

The pattern of metabolic reprogramming in chronic hypoxia shares similarities with that following myocardial infarction or hypertrophy, however the response of the chronically hypoxic heart to subsequent acute injury, and the role of metabolism is no...

Maximal-intensity exercise does not fully restore muscle pyruvate dehydrogenase complex activation after 3 days of high-fat dietary intake (2018)
Journal Article
Constantin-Teodosiu, D., Cederblad, G., Bergstrom, M., & Greenhaff, P. L. (2019). Maximal-intensity exercise does not fully restore muscle pyruvate dehydrogenase complex activation after 3 days of high-fat dietary intake. Clinical Nutrition, 38(2), 948-953. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clnu.2018.02.001

© 2019 Elsevier Ltd and European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism Background & aims: Exercise activates muscle pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC), but moderate intensity exercise fails to fully activate muscle PDC after high-fat diet [...
