Our review "Skeletal muscle biomass as an underappreciated fate of glucose" that summarises results of the TUM-Jyväskylä collaboration and of #HyperMet is now on Pubmed: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42405421/

Skeletal muscle biomass as an underappreciated fate of glucose - PubMed

Glucose is traditionally viewed as a substrate for ATP production and glycogen storage in skeletal muscle. Here, we review evidence that glucose also serves as a building block for biomass synthesis i...

Can one use an oral protein tolerance test to estimate anabolic sensitivity? Our first data suggest that this might be the case but there are several caveats. Well done Tim Havers and Max Hillgärtner! #HyperMet doi.org/10.64898/202...

Plasma metabolite responses to an oral protein tolerance test differ between young and sarcopenic participants and suggest altered anabolic sensitivity

Abstract Background: Sarcopenia is associated with anabolic resistance, a blunted muscle protein synthesis response to protein ingestion. Here, we hypothesized that anabolic resistance may be associat...

Rates of maximal blood lactate accumulation in the extreme intensity exercise domain: implications for training prescription - European Journal of Applied Physiology

Purpose This study investigated the rate of blood lactate accumulation (vLa) across six maximal sprint efforts and identified a breakpoint (vLaBP) in the vLa–power relationship. Methods Twelve physica...

Super pleased that our mini-review on "skeletal muscle biomass as an underappreciated fate of glucose" has been accepted by the American Journal of Physiology. One message is that carbon from glucose often ends up in muscle protein. #HyperMet

Looking forward to reading this paper on the relationship between glycolytic power (estmated as vLapeak) and thresholds by @BillySperlich & team! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Maximal glycolytic flux modulates metabolic thresholds independent of maximal oxygen uptake - European Journal of Applied Physiology

Purpose This study examined how maximal glycolytic flux, indexed by the peak lactate accumulation rate (vLapeak) from a 15-s sprint, relates to lactate- and gas-exchange derived endurance thresholds a...

Sometimes simple things are game changers. By correcting for mortality that is not ageing related (e.g., accidents), the heritablity estimate for longevity increases to aoround 55%. #Longevity www.science.org/doi/epdf/10....

On the 12th of March 2026, 15-16 h Munich time, Shalender Bhasin, Harvard, will present on testosterone. He is the authority on testosterone and has just published a review in Nature Metabolism on it (www.nature.com/articles/s42...). The link is here: tum-conf.zoom-x.de/j/6649072772...

It is really amazing how easy it is to become a longevity expert!

Yesterday we had our bi-annual "state of TUM exercise biology" review and adjusted our mission statement.

Great news! Today we heard that the DFG will fund the expensive aging biomarker analyses of the TauAge longevity trial with Tony Wyss Coray and Chiara Herzog clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT066...
