This study looked at how regular exercise changes appetite and metabolism in overweight teens who are not active. Researchers measured hunger levels and blood markers after a meal in 31 teens assigned to either an exercise program or a control group. The goal was to understand th…

This study looked at how different levels of processing in plant-based protein foods (like veggie burgers or protein powders) affect the bacteria in your gut and your body's metabolism. 38 healthy adults ate these foods, and researchers measured changes in gut microbes, blood mar…

This study looked at whether eating a type of starch that feeds gut bacteria can improve how long people can run. 21 healthy, active adults ate either the special starch or a regular starch for a week, then did a 5km treadmill run. Researchers measured things like muscle fuel and…

This study looked at how short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) affect gut hormones when delivered to different parts of the gut. 28 healthy adults took capsules that released SCFAs in either the small intestine or the colon. Researchers then measured hormone levels in blood samples to …

This study looked at how short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) get into the blood when delivered to different parts of the gut. 13 healthy volunteers took capsules that released SCFAs in either the small intestine or the colon. Researchers then measured SCFA levels in blood samples ove…

This study looked at how age and body fat affect inflammation in 100 veterans. Researchers wanted to see if losing weight and doing aerobic exercise could lower inflammation. Participants followed a weight loss and exercise program to test these effects.

This study looked at tiny particles called extracellular vesicles that muscles release after a single resistance exercise session. Researchers wanted to see if these particles carry a specific signal (miR-1) to fat tissue in young healthy and obese adults. 38 sedentary, non-smoki…

This study looked at how the number of calories in a meal and the time of day you eat affect your body's metabolism and blood vessel health. Twenty healthy adults took part. The goal was to understand how different meal sizes and eating later in the day change the way your body b…
