🚴‍♂️ Breakfast may not “top up” liver glycogen as quickly as you might think. Excited to share our new study, now online (in press) in the American Journal of Physiology – Endocrinology and Metabolism: journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Breakfast consumption does not rapidly increase liver or muscle glycogen content in well-trained cyclists | American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism | American Physiological Society
A carbohydrate-rich breakfast is commonly consumed by cyclists to compensate for an overnight decline in liver glycogen content and, as such, to maximize liver glycogen stores in the hours prior to ex...

Illness or injury can affect any of us — and often results in hospitalization. Yet the impact of hospital stays on muscle health is often underestimated. ⬇️

Our New study in EJSS! 2 weeks of bed rest causes ~5% leg muscle loss in healthy adults. DXA, CT & MRI detect similar decline. MRI-based automated analysis offers a fast, reliable alternative to manual muscle quantification. 🔗 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #musclehealth #MRI #research

Quantifying Leg Muscle Disuse Atrophy During Bed Rest Using DXA, CT, and MRI
This study evaluated whether dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provide comparable outcomes in quantifying disuse-induced skeletal ...

Our groups new paper is now out in @expphysiol.bsky.social looking at the reliability and repeatability of total creatine levels across 3 brain regions. Take a look if interested. physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/...

Intra‐ and inter‐session reliability and repeatability of 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy for determining total creatine concentrations in multiple brain regions
Using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) to determine total creatine (tCr) concentrations will become increasingly prevalent, as the role of creatine (Cr) in supporting brain health gain....
