🙏 Grateful to work with an amazing team on this — Congratulations to @korzepamarie.bsky.social for your outstanding work on this and thanks to our volunteers for their time and dedication.

➡️ Next steps: The source and quality of protein may be important for muscle remodeling with very low protein diets, particularly in clinical scenarios 🏥

➡️ Resistance exercise every other day increased muscle anabolism by over 10% and is the key driver for muscle growth in aging populations. Stay active, stay strong, and focus on training first! 🏋️‍♂️

➡️ Consuming 1.0g/kg/day of protein from predominantly plant or animal sources had little influence on muscle anabolism, or markers of metabolic and renal health 🌱 🥛

Excited to share our latest study: Resistance training increases myofibrillar protein synthesis in middle-to-older aged adults consuming a typical diet with no influence of protein source: a randomized controlled trial.

Our latest @nihr.bsky.social Birmingham BRC work: Accelerated aging of skeletal muscle and the immune system in patients with chronic liver disease.

Moving closer to the driving mechanisms of #frailty, #sarcopenia, and impaired immune function in CLD patients.

Ahhhh…this feels like Twitter circa 2022. No cesspool of hate and misinformation.

Happy to be here to share what we’re up to in all things skeletal muscle metabolism research. Hoping to reconnect with contacts from ‘that’ other channel.
