New paper online! Free AA vs milk protein: AA are more rapidly absorbed compared to milk protein, but no greater stimulation on MPS. Great work Michelle Weijzen M3 Research Group academic.oup.com/jn/advance-art…

New study from our lab M3 Research Group: Potato Protein Ingestion Increases Muscle Protein Synthesis Rates at Rest and during Recovery from Exercise. Ingestion of 30 g potato and milk protein concentrate result in a similar muscle anabolic response 💪💪 journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/Abst…

Fully funded PhD position available with us UoE_NPG looking at high protein, low calorie diets, derived from animal or non-animal sources, for weight loss and management. Starting in September. eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

Luc van Loon will teach the Sir David Cuthbertson #ESPEN2022 about Dietary protein and muscle conditioning

Great work by Michelle Weijzen showing protein intake is low in hospitalised patients. Where to from here? #ESPEN2022

A/Prof Lee-anne Chapple flying the NUTRIENT study flag at #ESPEN2022 for A/Prof Emma Ridley and team. Patients consuming an oral diet had lower energy/protein intake and lower nutrition assessments in ICU and acute care compared to artificial nutrition

Always fun to discuss data during conferences #ESPEN2022. Nice work by Jenna Amon (Obeid) on nutrition processes and delivery practices from ICU admission to discharge from inpatient rehabilitation

Very happy to be presenting data from my postdoctoral work on the effect of intermittent fasting on muscle protein synthesis supported by ESPEN John A. Hawley Evelyn Parr Australian Catholic University M3 Research Group #ESPEN2022

Another excellent presentation by A/Prof Lee-anne Chapple. So important to get more data on nutrition intake (and energy need) in post ICU patients. #ESPEN2022 #timetostepup

NEW PUBLICATION M3 Research Group doi.org/10.1016/j.tjnu… Main findings: Loss of muscle size, strength following 1 wk immobilization and ⬇️MPS during immobilization. Partial regain of muscle size and strength following 2 wk remobilization, ⬆️MPS during remobilization.

ESPEN is pleased to confirm the laureates of the 2023 ESPEN RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM, continuing to fund innovative research from early-career awardees, to enhance knowledge in the field of clinical nutrition and metabolism and to strengthen the role of clinical nutrition.

Happy to have this one published with Michelle Weijzen! Together we managed to start tracer infusion in the short period between admission and surgery of patients with a hip fracture and assess bone protein synthesis proximal and distal of the fracture🦴 bitly.ws/WEwq

Quark ingestion stimulates muscle protein synthesis rates in both older and younger individuals. Nice paper by Wesley Hermans

Our newest paper is now online in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism: Becoming a World Champion Powerlifter at 71 Years of Age: It Is Never Too Late to Start Exercising journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/… Jorn Trommelen, PhD Michelle Weijzen A short thread:

Happy and proud this practical paper is out! Providing a protein rich snack prior to sleep is a succesful strategy to increase total protein intake during hospitalization!
