The clinical relevance and mechanism of skeletal muscle wasting
K Duan, X Gao, D Zhu - Clinical Nutrition, 2021 - Elsevier
Skeletal muscle wasting occurs in both chronic and acute diseases. Increasing evidence
has shown this debilitating process is associated with short-and long-term outcomes in …

The carbon isotope ratio of breath is elevated by short-term and long-term added sugar and animal protein intake in a controlled feeding study
DM O'Brien, LS Freedman, P Rivera… - The American Journal of …, 2024 - Elsevier
Background The breath carbon isotope ratio (CIR) was recently identified as a noninvasive
candidate biomarker of short-term added sugars (AS) intake. Objectives This study aimed to …

More than just sugar: allocation of nectar amino acids and fatty acids in a Lepidopteran
The ability to allocate resources, even when limited, is essential for survival and fitness. We
examine how nutrients that occur in minute amounts are allocated among reproductive …

Cyclic bouts of extreme bradycardia counteract the high metabolism of frugivorous bats
Active flight requires the ability to efficiently fuel bursts of costly locomotion while maximizing
energy conservation during non-flying times. We took a multi-faceted approach to estimate …

Water restriction increases oxidation of endogenous amino acids in house sparrows (Passer domesticus)
Animals can cope with dehydration in a myriad of ways, both behaviorally and
physiologically. The oxidation of protein produces more metabolic water per kilojoule than …

Environmental temperature alters the overall digestive energetics and differentially affects dietary protein and lipid use in a lizard
Processing food (eg ingestion, digestion, assimilation) requires energy referred to as
specific dynamic action (SDA) and is at least partially fuelled by oxidation of the nutrients (eg …
