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.

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...
