Great to see so many HyperMet members and exercise physiologists with metabolomics data at the DGMet meeting in Hannover. This is a growing field and it is important for us to learn to not only generate data mountains but new ideas that are useful for practice!

Congratulations to the authors for publishing this paper in on the metabolism of muscle atrophy in Cell Reports! It shows that atrophy is more than just amino acids being released into the circulation.

We are shocked and very sad to hear that Joern Rittweger has suddenly passed away. He was one of the few researchers in Germany that did human muscle biopsy studies www.dlr.de/en/me/latest...

Munich researchers have contributed to developing weight loss medications. However, patients also lose muscle mass. As an alternative, muscle hypertrophy stimulation also causes fat loss. Which strategy is better? Register for our symposium here and RT: collab.dvb.bayern/pages/viewpa...
