Carbohydrate intake of 10 g/kg body mass rapidly replenishes liver, but not muscle glycogen contents, during 12 h of post-exercise recovery in well-trained cyclists @Cas_Fuchs (et al.,) is on a tear with great work lately https://t.co/e38zYZsxh5

I am over the moon to have another piece published in @ConversationCA This article breaks down the facts, debunks common myths and answers the most pressing questions about protein today. https://t.co/ifAKJ40vAQ

Protein is in the spotlight, but social media claims and bold food labels don’t tell the whole story. How much do you really need? Can you overdo it? And what’s the best source of protein?

Aerobic exercise causes weight loss dose-dependently in a large meta-analysis of RCTs. Exercise isn't the most efficient way to lose weight, but it does cause weight loss in most people and it's a good complement to diet and other approaches. https://t.co/dvbbABnnkh

Preserving muscle with GLP-1 weight loss drugs: Big deal or nothing to worry about? https://t.co/FxzBZ0zUSS via @ConversationCA

Early clinical trials suggest that people who lose weight with drugs like Ozempic lose lean mass as well as fat, which could have consequences for older adults at risk of muscle loss.

Absolutely thrilled to share our work recently published in NAR molecular medicine on identifying a non-coding RNA (ncRNA) signature associated with skeletal muscle remodelling. Below is a thread of some (but not all 😉) interesting findings

Abstract. A majority of human genes produce non-protein-coding RNA (ncRNA), and some have roles in development and disease. Neither ncRNA nor human skeleta
