Alterations to longitudinal muscle morphology and mechanical function following immobilization and recovery in female ovariectomized and intact rats

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Serial sarcomere number (SSN) is reduced following immobilization of a muscle in a shortened position in male rodents thereby impairing muscle contractile function. However, in female rodents the effects of oestrogen on SSN and mechanical changes following immobilization and re‐ambulation are unknown.

Musculoskeletal decay and bone–muscle crosstalk during physical disuse: Mechanisms and integrated countermeasures

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Older adults experience a markedly increased risk of falls and fractures following hospital discharge, largely due to the rapid musculoskeletal deterioration associated with bed rest. Although age‐related muscle and bone loss typically develops gradually, acute physical inactivity accelerates key biological processes underlying sarcopenia and ...

Resistance training load does not determine resistance training‐induced hypertrophy across upper and lower limbs in healthy young males

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend In healthy young males, we found that skeletal muscle hypertrophy following a period of resistance exercise training (RET) was consistent within and between subjects, as assessed using a variety of established methods. The skeletal muscle hypertrophic response was independent of external load.

Sex‐specific metabolic responses to glucagon receptor agonism and modulation of the FGF21‐glucagon axis in female mice

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Therapies targeting the glucagon receptor are being explored for obesity treatment, yet most preclinical studies remain male biased. In this study, Merrild and Johansen et al. show that in diet‐induced obese wild‐type mice a long‐acting glucagon analogue (LA‐Gcg) elicits sexually dimorphic effects on weight loss, food intake ...

Post‐exercise ketone supplementation improves endurance performance and mitochondrial adaptations during an 8‐week endurance training intervention

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Twenty‐eight trained males completed 8 weeks of supervised indoor cycling training, receiving post‐exercise and pre‐sleep ketone monoester (KE, n = 14) or isocaloric placebo (CON, n = 14). Both groups improved 30 min time‐trial performance with training, but KE achieved a 4% higher power output than CON at the end of the training
