Journal Article
Crossland, H., Smith, K., Atherton, P. J., & Wilkinson, D. J. (2018). The metabolic and molecular mechanisms of hyperammonaemia and hyperethanolaemia induced protein catabolism in skeletal muscle cells. Journal of Cellular Physiology, 233(12), 9663-9673. https://doi.org/10.1002/jcp.26881

Hyperammonaemia and hyperethanolaemia are thought to be driving factors behind skeletal muscle myopathy in liver disease i.e. cirrhosis. Despite this, the singular and combined impacts of ethanol and ammonia induced protein catabolism are poorly defi...

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...
