In this randomized cross-over study, @Marianna__A (@uniofexeHLS) et al. show how a rediuction in amino acid availability across the menstrual cycle does not affect whole-body or muscle protein synthesis. 📜 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

📢 Are you researching the underlying causes of muscle loss in the context of #ageing, disuse, inactivity, and #malnutrition? Submit an abstract to share your work at the #MuscleLoss meeting on 4-5 September at @UniofExeter. Deadline extended to 30 June: buff.ly/3xiNx4h

📢 Abstract submission is now OPEN for the: New Perspectives on the Physiological Basis of #MuscleLoss meeting taking place on 4 – 5 September at @UniofExeter. Don't miss out on the opportunity to share your research, submit by 3 June: buff.ly/3w4BreA

Possibly our biggest, most-logistically complex study yet: A four-week mycoprotein intervention reduces serum cholesterol concentrations in community-dwelling, overweight adults. @BenjaminTWall @IniestaRevuelta @uoe_npg clinicalnutritionjournal.com/article/S0261-…

Delighted to share our latest: We show that consuming a protein drink via a nasogastric tube increases plasma amino acid and insulin concentrations, but does not influence whole body or muscle protein synthesis. @marloudirks @uoe_npg @BenjaminTWall doi.org/10.1042/CS2023…

@_PaulMorgan @DrBPCarson @NortonNutrition @PessLimerick Initially! Then we’ll see how the next few months turn out. You know what postdoc life is like! 😂

@GPavis @DrBPCarson @NortonNutrition @PessLimerick Back home?

Grateful for a valuable 6 months postdoc-ing under the brilliant @DrBPCarson and @NortonNutrition. It's been a rewarding journey, and I'm excited for what lies ahead!

@LimerickToday Thanks for having me! For anyone with T2 Diabetes interested in our current work, please get in touch at george.pavis@ul.ie

LISTEN BACK! 🎙️Podcast | UL Obesity Research shows.acast.com/60b372fb-6c93-…

Thanks for having me, Gillian! We discussed: 💊 How do anti-diabetes medications work? 🌿 Are there natural alternatives? 🧑‍🔬 Our latest findings at UL 🙋 How you can take part in our current work in people with Type 2 Diabetes @DrBPCarson @UL @UL_Research @PessLimerick

📖For more information on how proteins can help in management of type 2 diabetes, check out this blog post pess.blog/2023/07/25/the… #DiabetesResearch #SeaweedProtein #diabetes

🩸 Do you have type 2 diabetes? 🌿Are you interested in alternative proteins? 🙋We're looking for volunteers for a study investigating whether plant proteins can improve glucose control. If interested DM myself or @DrBPCarson #Diabetes #Nutrition

New in @AJPEndoMetab: Sam West et al. showed that three non-animal derived #protein sources have utility in supporting post-exercise muscle reconditioning. ow.ly/sCG750PsNxT @UniofExeter @utmbhealth #mycoprotein #peaprotein #resistanceexercise

In today’s blog, Dr George Pavis from PESS tells us: 🩸 How protein can help manage type 2 diabetes. 🌿 How you can take part in new research to help us discover more. pess.blog/2023/07/25/the… @GPavis #DiabetesResearch #SeaweedProtein #PostgradAtUL #StayCurious

We are recruiting Type 2 Diabetics in the Limerick & surrounding regions for a study investigating the effect of alternative plant proteins on glucose control. If interested DM myself or @GPavis #Diabetes #Nutrition

Delighted to share our latest work in @JCSM_cachexia : Short-term disuse does not affect postabsorptive or postprandial muscle protein fractional breakdown rates. With @marloudirks @BenjaminTWall @uoe_npg onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jc…

@_PaulMorgan @DrBPCarson @UL @PAfH_UL @NortonNutrition @Sale_ExNut @GrainneHayes89 Was great to see you guys, have a good journey back!

Huge thanks to @DrBPCarson and his extended team @UL @PAfH_UL @NortonNutrition @GPavis for the invite to present alongside @Sale_ExNut and @GrainneHayes89. It was an absolute honour. Thoroughly enjoyable and productive 3 days in Limerick. Looking forward to future collaboration.

Recent publication in @jnutritionorg led by Dr Alistair Monteyne of @uoe_npg examining muscle protein synthesis and muscle adaptive responses during prolonged resistance training while consuming vegan or omnivorous diets. @Journalofnutrition sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@_PaulMorgan and thats before you start looking at daily, cumulative rates of MPS, which seem to produce sometimes unexpected results if you base your understanding on acute tracer infusion work, i.e. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32469388/

And where it is supported, it’s often in strictly controlled environments, flooding the circulation with a rapidly digested, isolated and liquid form of protein.

Much more nuance to this required. Though I acknowledge nuance is difficult in a tweet, assuming this is true, word for word, consuming, regularly, meals of <30g of protein per meal means no postprandial stimulation of MPS?!?

@DrMyohead Absolutely! All worthwhile follow up questions that I want to know the answer to! Hopefully someone, somewhere will be chipping away at them given that RT is always a hot topic.

@GPavis @DrBPCarson @tsojameson @BenjaminTWall HA! I can relate great work I was only giving some obvious follow up ideas for your next PhD 😂😉 The young vs old would be an interesting comparison too. To be fair now that you have the current result it would be easier to branch out congrats on finishing this monster project!

Daily PRO-Polyphenol Ingestion Increases Daily MPS Rates & Promotes Early Muscle Functional Gains During RT Really nice work from @GPavis @tsojameson @BenjaminTWall Although difficult to do would love to see a protein only "placebo" group in the future doi.org/10.1152/ajpend…

@DrBPCarson @DrMyohead @tsojameson @BenjaminTWall We did toy with the protein only idea, as well as having young vs old groups! Ultimately decided to stay focussed on the question, though, and that this 'baby step' was already massive enough - I think we'd end up with a PhD in supervising training sessions!

@DrMyohead @GPavis @tsojameson @BenjaminTWall Indeed! The additonal group and loss of power with 3 groups requiring greater n is a monster challenge.
