In this episode we discuss a manuscript entitled “Effects of Diet Versus Gastric Bypass on Metabolic Function in Diabetes”. DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa2003697

This manuscript was recently published online in the August issue of The New England Journal of Medicine out of the laboratory of Dr. Sam Klein at Washington University in St. Louis.

In this episode we discuss a manuscript entitled “Effects of 4- and 6-h Time-Restricted Feeding on Weight and Cardiometabolic Health: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Adults with Obesity”. This manuscript was recently published online in Cell Metabolism and will be available in print this September. This paper comes from Dr. Krista Varady’s lab at the University of Illinois at Chicago. 

For this episode we had the pleasure of having the first author, Sofia Cienfuegos, join us to discuss her manuscript. Sofia is a registered dietician and a PhD candidate in Dr. Varady's lab who led this clinical trial as part of her dissertation work.

In this episode, Alec will be leading our discussion on work published out of the University of Oregon amongst others,  investigating the effects of maternal obesity compounded with a high fat western-style diet on offspring insulin action and sensitivity entitled “Maternal Obesity and Western-style Diet Impair Fetal and Juvenile Offspring Skeletal Muscle Insulin-Stimulated Glucose Transport in Nonhuman Primates” published in Diabetes this April.

In this episode of the podcast, Dr. Jacob Mey leads our discussion of the article entitled "Ultra-Processed Diets Cause Excess Calorie Intake and Weight Gain: An Inpatient Randomized Controlled Trial of Ad Libitum Food Intake". This manuscript was led by Dr. Kevin Hall who is a obesity researcher at the National Institutes of Health and one of the world's experts in energy balance and body weight regulation. We also briefly discuss one of Dr. Hall's more recent pre-prints entitled "A Plant-Based, Low-Fat Diet Decreases Ad Libitum Energy Intake Compared to an Animal-Based, Ketogenic Diet: An Inpatient Randomized Controlled Trial".

In this Episode the panel is joined by Dr. Alison Ludzki, a post-doctoral fellow at the Karolinska Institutet, to discuss a paper from her lab that uses carbon-14 abundance in lipids extracted from human adipose samples to determine how lipid turnover changes over the course of years and in response to weight loss.

In this episode Dr. Jacob Mey leads our discussion of a paper that was recently published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition titled, “Whey protein but not collagen peptides stimulate acute and longer-term muscle protein synthesis with and without resistance exercise in healthy older women: a randomized controlled trial.” In this paper, the authors aimed to determine the effects of ingesting either whey protein or collagen protein on acute and longer-term muscle protein synthesis with or without resistance exercise.

In this episode, the panel and I discuss a recent paper by Park et. a. entitled,"Vasodilatory and Vascular Mitochondrial Respiratory Function with Advancing Age: Evidence of a Free Radically-Mediated Link in the Human Vasculature".

This episode of The Physiology Forum is an introductory episode where the panel and I discuss our backgrounds in science, what projects we are currently working on and what you as the listener can expect from this podcast.

This is the first episode in our series on aging. In this episode the panel and I discuss a recent paper out of Ball State's Human Performance lab entitled "Skeletal Muscle Size, Function and Adiposity with Life Long Aerobic Exercise".
