Glycolytic metabolism and biomass production from glucose in human skeletal muscle growth | American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology | American Physiological Society journals.physiology.org/doi/…

Glycolytic metabolism and biomass production from glucose in human skeletal muscle growth |...

Skeletal muscle is the main consumer of glucose after a mixed meal, and resistance exercise further increases muscle glucose uptake. Emerging evidence suggests that glucose uptake in muscles is not...

Pharmaceutical companies like @EliLillyandCo (w bimagrumab) explore ActRIIA/B inhibitors to combat muscle loss in cancer, aging, and weight-loss (e.g., @novonordisk’s Wegovy). Our new study shows quite complex metabolic effects of these inhibitors 😵‍💫 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Activin receptor type IIA/B blockade increases muscle mass and strength, but compromises glycemic...

Purpose Blocking the Activin receptor type IIA and B (ActRIIA/IIB) has clinical potential to increase muscle mass and improve glycemic control in obesity, cancer, and aging. However, the impact of...

Watched Episode 1 of Channel 4's Eat Smart: Secrets of the Glucose Goddess last night and thought I would share some of my thoughts, seen as though her advice seems to spark controversy🤔

Preserving muscle with GLP-1 weight loss drugs: Big deal or nothing to worry about?

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.
