1.
Plasma complement system markers and their association with cardiometabolic risk factors: an ethnic comparison of White European and Black African men
Reed R, Zelek W, Morgan B, Whelehan G, Lockhart S, ORahilly S, et al.
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab . 2025 Mar; PMID: 40047170
Populations of Black African (BA) ancestry are disproportionately affected by cardiometabolic diseases, possibly due to dysregulation of the complement system. This study aimed to determine 1) relationships between fasting complement...

The Contribution of Whole-Food and Supplemental Derived Dietary Protein, From Animal and Nonanimal Origins, to Daily Protein Intake in Young Adults: A Cross-Sectional Analysis
Haigh F, Whelehan G, West S, Apicella M, Wilkinson K, van der Heijden I, et al.
Int J Sport Nutr Exerc Metab . 2024 Nov; 35(2):120-130. PMID: 39608360
We characterized daily dietary protein intakes, focusing on protein source (animal and nonanimal) and form (whole-foods and supplemental) in young (18-40 years) resistance trained (training ≥ 3×/week for ≥ 6 ...

High-protein vegan and omnivorous diets improve peripheral insulin sensitivity to a similar extent in people with type 2 diabetes
Whelehan G, Dirks M, West S, Abdelrahman D, Murton A, Finnigan T, et al.
Diabetes Obes Metab . 2024 Nov; 27(3):1143-1152. PMID: 39604044
Background: High-protein diets have been recognized as a potential strategy in the nutritional management of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Mycoprotein is a high-fibre, high-protein food ingredient previously shown to improve...

Ethnic differences in the relationship between ectopic fat deposition and insulin sensitivity in Black African and White European men across a spectrum of glucose tolerance
Whelehan G, Bello O, Hakim O, Ladwa M, Umpleby A, Amiel S, et al.
Diabetes Obes Metab . 2024 Aug; 26(11):5211-5221. PMID: 39149769
Aim: To examine the hypothesis that there would be ethnic differences in the relationship between ectopic fat and tissue-specific insulin resistance (IR) across a spectrum of glucose tolerance in Black...
5.
Ethnic differences in postprandial fatty acid trafficking and utilization between overweight and obese White European and Black African-Caribbean men
Reed R, Shojaee-Moradie F, Whelehan G, Jackson N, Witard O, Umpleby M, et al.
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab . 2024 Jul; 327(4):E585-E597. PMID: 39082902
Black African-Caribbean (BAC) populations are at greater risk of cardiometabolic disease than White Europeans (WE), despite exhibiting lower fasting triacylglycerol (TAG) concentrations. However, limited data exist regarding postprandial fatty acid...
6.
The addition of mycoprotein to a mixed-meal impacts postprandial glucose kinetics without altering blood glucose concentrations: a randomised controlled trial
Whelehan G, West S, Abdelrahman D, Murton A, Finnigan T, Wall B, et al.
Eur J Clin Nutr . 2024 Jul; 78(9):757-764. PMID: 39003347
Background: Mycoprotein is a high-fibre food previously shown to reduce postprandial glucose concentrations when ingested within a mixed-meal. We applied a dual stable isotope tracer approach to determine whether this...
7.
High-Moisture Extrusion of a Dietary Protein Blend Impairs In Vitro Digestion and Delays In Vivo Postprandial Plasma Amino Acid Availability in Humans
West S, Monteyne A, Whelehan G, Abdelrahman D, Murton A, Finnigan T, et al.
J Nutr . 2024 May; 154(7):2053-2064. PMID: 38797481
Background: Industrial processing can alter the structural complexity of dietary proteins and, potentially, their digestion and absorption upon ingestion. High-moisture extrusion (HME), a common processing method used to produce meat...
8.
A ketone monoester drink reduces postprandial blood glucose concentrations in adults with type 2 diabetes: a randomised controlled trial
Monteyne A, Falkenhain K, Whelehan G, Neudorf H, Abdelrahman D, Murton A, et al.
Diabetologia . 2024 Mar; 67(6):1107-1113. PMID: 38483543
Aims/hypothesis: The aim of the present study was to conduct a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover trial to determine whether pre-meal ketone monoester ingestion reduces postprandial glucose concentrations in individuals with...
9.
Ingestion of mycoprotein, pea protein, and their blend support comparable postexercise myofibrillar protein synthesis rates in resistance-trained individuals
West S, Monteyne A, Whelehan G, van der Heijden I, Abdelrahman D, Murton A, et al.
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab . 2023 Aug; 325(3):E267-E279. PMID: 37529834
Pea protein is an attractive nonanimal-derived protein source to support dietary protein requirements. However, although high in leucine, a low methionine content has been suggested to limit its anabolic potential....
10.
Mycoprotein ingestion within or without its wholefood matrix results in equivalent stimulation of myofibrillar protein synthesis rates in resting and exercised muscle of young men
West S, Monteyne A, Whelehan G, Abdelrahman D, Murton A, Finnigan T, et al.
Br J Nutr . 2022 Sep; 130(1):20-32. PMID: 36172885
Ingestion of mycoprotein stimulates skeletal muscle protein synthesis (MPS) rates to a greater extent than concentrated milk protein when matched for leucine content, potentially attributable to the wholefood nature of...
