We’re proud to share our study revealing how a natural antioxidant could help reduce muscle decline linked to obesity. Our researchers have discovered that resveratrol may help combat muscle weakness caused by a high-fat diet. Resveratrol is found in foods like red grapes and peanuts and is already known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits but findings by our research centre for Physical Activity, Sport and Exercise Sciences (PASES) offer the first clear evidence of its potential to preserve muscle strength and performance, even when under metabolic stress from a high-fat diet. Resveratrol had the strongest effect on muscles used for quick, powerful movements, which are the most affected by high-fat diets. The potential for applying this discovery to human trials offers new opportunities to tackle the obesity pandemic which is now affecting approximately one billion people. Professor Deborah Lycett, Associate Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research), said: “This work is a great example of novel experimental science happening at Coventry University. Such discoveries open the way for investigating new treatments and approaches to tackle challenges like obesity.” Read more here: pulse.ly/mdppfob3ez @CovUniResearch

I'm happy to share one of the last pieces of my PhD work. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this manuscript. @mike_delisio @Jesper__Just @EBJohannsen Thanks @AJPCellPhys @AJPCellPhysEIC @thomashawke #myotwitter journals.physiology.org/doi/epdf/10.11…

Fancy doing a PhD or know someone that does? If so, please apply or share. Deadline 18th June for mid/late Sept start findaphd.com/phds/project/i…

Lots of male researchers expressing an interest in joining the editorial board, but so far very few females. I'm very keen to have a 50:50 split and encourage female researchers working in any fields related Exercise as Medicine to contact me or the journal directly.

Our new FASEBJ paper. We looked into mTOR Ser1261 phosphorylation in human and mouse muscle, proposed by Diane Fingar's lab to be first an Akt and then AMPK site regulating mTORC1 and 2 activity. Clearly AMPK site but impact on mTORC unclear in our hands faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1096/fj…

Funded PhD studentship with @MIBTP_BBSRC @unibirmingham Does immune system deterioration and adipose tissue dysfunction influence skeletal muscle mass in older adults and is there a restorative role for exercise? With @LeighBreen @JamesE_Turner shorturl.at/kwoDx

@aryanzarekani @MIBTP_BBSRC Thanks for your interest. Further information on eligibility and academic requirements are in the link below. #Eligibility" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/…

The application deadline for the October 2025 @MIBTP_BBSRC cohort is the 16th January 2025. If you have an interest in the cellular and molecular responses of skeletal muscle to exercise mimetics, please get in touch.

Further details on the project and application process can be found by through the QR code in the post above.

@CovUniResearch have joined the @MIBTP_BBSRC & applications are now open for prospective students. I have a project collaborating with @LaiYuChiang @unibirmingham investigating the role of exercise mimetics on proteostasis function and dysfunction in skeletal muscle. @MYOTWlTTER
