Publication: Dietary protein considerations in a sustainable and ageing world: a narrative review with a focus on greenhouse gas emissions and skeletal muscle remodelling and maintenance
Impact Summary: This review by Prof Brian Carson and colleagues addresses the dual challenges of ensuring adequate dietary protein intake for an aging population while promoting environmental sustainability. Protein is crucial for maintaining skeletal muscle […]
Publication: Antioxidative, Glucose Management, and Muscle Protein Synthesis Properties of Fish Protein Hydrolysates and Peptides
Research Impact: This review explores the health benefits of fish protein hydrolysates (FPHs) and bioactive peptides, highlighting their potential for improving antioxidant capacity, glucose management, and muscle protein synthesis (MPS). Derived from fish and fish-processing […]
Publication: Nutritional strategies for improving sarcopenia outcomes in older adults: A narrative review
Research Impact: This narrative review explores nutritional strategies to improve sarcopenia outcomes in older adults. Sarcopenia, a condition characterized by muscle loss, decreased strength, and reduced physical performance, is associated with aging and chronic illnesses, […]
Publication: Prevalence of reducing carbohydrate intake and fasted training in elite endurance athletes and association with bone injury
Research Impact: This study examined the prevalence of reduced carbohydrate (CHO) intake and fasted training among 327 elite endurance athletes and their association with bone injuries. Findings revealed that 28% of athletes intentionally reduced CHO […]
Publication: Postexercise Dietary Leucine Retention for Whole-Body Anabolism Is Greater With Whey Protein Isolate and Fish-Derived Protein Hydrolysate Than Nonessential Amino Acids in Trained Young Men
Research Impact: This study investigated how different protein sources support muscle recovery after exercise by examining leucine retention, a key marker of muscle-building potential. Ten healthy, strength-trained men completed full-body workouts on three occasions, consuming […]
Publication: Association of Sarcopenia and Oxygen Uptake Efficiency Slope in Male Patients With Heart Failure
Impact Summary: This study investigated the relationship between sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass and strength) and ventilatory response during exercise in 169 male patients with heart failure (HF). Sarcopenia, present in 17% of participants, was […]
