Extracellular vesicles contribute to the beneficial effects of exercise training in APP/PS1 mice
Fuller O, McLennan E, Egan C, Perera N, Terry L, Pyun J, et al.
iScience . 2025 Feb; 28(2):111752. PMID: 39898049
Exercise improves cognitive function in Alzheimer's disease (AD) via mechanism that are not fully clear. Here, we first examined the effect of voluntary exercise training (VET) on energy metabolism and...

CaMKK2: bridging the gap between Ca2+ signaling and energy-sensing
McAloon L, Muller A, Nay K, Lu E, Smeuninx B, Means A, et al.
Essays Biochem . 2024 Sep; 68(3):309-320. PMID: 39268917
Calcium (Ca2+) ions are ubiquitous and indispensable signaling messengers that regulate virtually every cell function. The unique ability of Ca2+ to regulate so many different processes yet cause stimulus specific...

A single bout of prior resistance exercise attenuates muscle atrophy and declines in myofibrillar protein synthesis during bed-rest in older men
Smeuninx B, Elhassan Y, Sapey E, Rushton A, Morgan P, Korzepa M, et al.
J Physiol . 2023 Oct; 603(1):87-105. PMID: 37856286
Impairments in myofibrillar protein synthesis (MyoPS) during bed rest accelerate skeletal muscle loss in older adults, increasing the risk of adverse secondary health outcomes. We investigated the effect of prior...

Therapeutic blockade of ER stress and inflammation prevents NASH and progression to HCC
Boslem E, Reibe S, Carlessi R, Smeuninx B, Tegegne S, Egan C, et al.
Sci Adv . 2023 Sep; 9(37):eadh0831. PMID: 37703359
The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is rapidly rising largely because of increased obesity leading to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a known HCC risk factor. There are no approved treatments to...

Greater myofibrillar protein synthesis following weight-bearing activity in obese old compared with non-obese old and young individuals
Morgan P, Smeuninx B, Marshall R, Korzepa M, Quinlan J, McPhee J, et al.
Geroscience . 2023 Jun; 46(4):3759-3778. PMID: 37328646
The mechanisms through which obesity impacts age-related muscle mass regulation are unclear. In the present study, rates of integrated myofibrillar protein synthesis (iMyoPS) were measured over 48-h prior-to and following...

Myofibrillar Protein Synthesis and Acute Intracellular Signaling with Elastic Band Resistance Exercise in Young and Older Men
Marshall R, Morgan P, Smeuninx B, Quinlan J, Brook M, Atherton P, et al.
Med Sci Sports Exerc . 2023 Feb; 55(3):398-408. PMID: 36731005
Purpose: Resistance exercise training (RET) attenuates age-related muscle and strength loss ("sarcopenia"). However, compared with machine-based RET, the efficacy of cost-effective, accessible elastic band RET (EB-RET) for muscle adaptive remodeling...

Acute resistance exercise training does not augment mitochondrial remodelling in master athletes or untrained older adults
Marshall R, McKendry J, Smeuninx B, Seabright A, Morgan P, Greig C, et al.
Front Physiol . 2023 Jan; 13:1097988. PMID: 36685204
Ageing is associated with alterations to skeletal muscle oxidative metabolism that may be influenced by physical activity status, although the mechanisms underlying these changes have not been unraveled. Similarly, the...

No effect of five days of bed rest or short-term resistance exercise prehabilitation on markers of skeletal muscle mitochondrial content and dynamics in older adults
Marshall R, Smeuninx B, Seabright A, Morgan P, Atherton P, Philp A, et al.
Physiol Rep . 2022 Jul; 10(13):e15345. PMID: 35785448
Bed rest (BR) results in significant impairments in skeletal muscle metabolism. Mitochondrial metabolism is reportedly highly sensitive to disuse, with dysregulated fission-fusion events and impaired oxidative function previously reported. The...

Dairy as a Source of Iodine and Protein in the UK: Implications for Human Health Across the Life Course, and Future Policy and Research
Witard O, Bath S, Dineva M, Sellem L, Mulet-Cabero A, van Dongen L, et al.
Front Nutr . 2022 Feb; 9:800559. PMID: 35223949
This narrative review summarizes key concepts in dairy nutrition for supporting human health throughout the life course. Milk and dairy products have been a staple component of our diet for...

The effect of short-term exercise prehabilitation on skeletal muscle protein synthesis and atrophy during bed rest in older men
Smeuninx B, Elhassan Y, Manolopoulos K, Sapey E, Rushton A, Edwards S, et al.
J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle . 2020 Dec; 12(1):52-69. PMID: 33347733
Background: Poor recovery from periods of disuse accelerates age-related muscle loss, predisposing individuals to the development of secondary adverse health outcomes. Exercise prior to disuse (prehabilitation) may prevent muscle deterioration...
