How should you present information in your paper? In the body of the manuscript? In a graph? A diagram? A map? An illustration? When it comes to data, tables are often the go-to choice. I know, tables aren't the most flashy part of a paper, but a well-put-together table really helps readers understand the nitty-gritty of your work. So, how do you make sure your table is a great table?

"I stopped doing research about gut microbiota as I realized it’s not the holy grail of medicine like what the media and scientists have implied." Sometimes a topic in health takes a life of it's own before people realize it may not be backed by enough scientific evidence. Great article by Shin Jie Yong.

the course ‘𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻’ (15, 22 and 29 January 2024) is open for registration! (participation In-person OR online possible!) Course coordinators Renate Winkels, Marco Mensink (Wageningen Human Nutrition and Health) and Arie Nieuwenhuizen (Human and Animal Physiology) Wageningen University & Research Changes in energy balance result in weight gain or loss and changes in body composition. Disturbances in energy metabolism like mitochondrial dysfunction and metabolic inflexibility are linked to metabolic health and chronic diseases. Both diet and physical activity, but also ageing and clinical conditions, can affect energy metabolism, energy balance and body composition. This course will give an overview of state-of-the-art methods to measure body composition and energy metabolism and its application, and will only briefly touch upon some major (patho)physiological aspects of energy metabolism and health.

#Allostasis Thanks to the Faculty of Physical Culture, Sport and Recreation at Universidad Santo Tomás for the invitation to participate in the 1st International Conference on Sports Sciences, Recreation and Physical Activity. It was a pleasure to talk about "The Evaluation of Allostatic Load in Sport." For several years, we have been working under the allostatic paradigm, which views physiological regulation as a process of stability through change. We have made both practical and theoretical contributions to this field in a variety of areas: - The 4R's Framework of Nutritional Strategies for Post-Exercise Recovery: https://lnkd.in/e9uEZMrM - Depression: https://lnkd.in/egJZ5i6w - Nutritional Strategies in the Rehabilitation of Musculoskeletal Injuries in Athletes: https://lnkd.in/eukDa4ud - Allostatic load in sport and physical exercise: https://lnkd.in/egUUse2B; https://lnkd.in/eFnZWG9n There is still a long way to go in this line of research, so we continue to work on the identification of biomarkers and the development of an allostatic load index that is specific to different populations. After SIDANE V, I hope to see our article "The 'Bio-Logic' Model: An Integrative Model for the Interpretation of Biological Phenomena in Nutrition and Exercise Sciences" published. This work integrates the principles of free energy, interoception, and allostasis. #Research #EvolveWithScience #TeamDBSS

Use of bone turnover markers in sports science is growing, and this brings challenges... Main message from our ramblings - we need to understand the processes these markers are aiming to measure and the limitations associated with measuring them... Without a full understanding, we risk making incorrect conclusions and misdirecting future research and applied practice... (read the full story below): https://lnkd.in/eEC88BqU

Our team is thrilled to share a groundbreaking study recently published in the Journal of Aging Research and Healthcare. Titled "The trajectory of immunoglobulins immune response against the different amounts of xenobiotics matches the trajectory of biological changes associated with ageing: A systematic review", this paper delves into the fascinating relationship between immunoglobulins (Igs) and the ageing process. 📝 Key Findings: Through a systematic review of existing literature, researchers uncovered compelling evidence linking the immune response of Igs to xenobiotics (foreign substances) with the biological changes associated with ageing. Notably, the study observed a decline in the efficiency of IgM immune response with increasing doses of test compounds, mirroring the decrease in IgM levels seen with ageing. Additionally, the impact of lifestyle factors like alcohol consumption on serum Ig levels was explored, revealing intriguing correlations. 🔍 Further Exploration: Want to delve deeper into this captivating research? Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gnQpXPW8 🎓 Academic Insights: This study sheds light on the intricate interplay between environmental factors, immune responses, and the ageing process. By understanding how xenobiotics influence Igs and contribute to age-related changes, we gain valuable insights into potential avenues for maintaining health and vitality as we grow older. Stay informed, stay curious! 💡 #ResearchUpdate #AgingHealth #Immunology #ScienceTwitter

From our recent collaboration with Wageningen University & Research and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam), I am excited to report preliminary results in first group of participants. The findings I am sharing today are preliminary and derived from a subjective evaluation questionnaire. These results are part of an ongoing study and require confirmation in the total study population, so they are intended to provide an initial impression. This citizen science research, a randomized controlled trial (RCT), assesses the impact of fiber and fermented foods on gut health and systemic inflammation, and the study's aim is to understand the different effects of both diets. In this collaboration, our AgeBiotics are being utilized as a proxy for the fermented food intervention. Why this focus? The gut microbiome plays a critical role in metabolism, mental health, and immunity, and each individual's microbiome is as unique as a fingerprint. Its high diversity often correlates with optimal health outcomes. Yet, disruptions in the gut microbiome are increasingly linked to chronic (intestinal) diseases. To capture a holistic view, our study extends beyond gut microbiome composition analysis to include a thorough evaluation of systemic inflammation as one of the endpoint measurements. What is also very important in creating the complete picture is a biopsychological assessment, as subjective experiences are not isolated from the biology within the body. However, these subjective assessments are initial and will be further explored and validated in the total study population. In line with this, the graph below shows some of the exciting preliminary results that still should be interpreted within the broader context of the study. However, they motivate us to further explore all the mechanisms behind the bioactive compounds in AgeBiotics, aiming to create as precise an intervention as possible for each individual based on their unique biology. There is much more to uncover than what current scientific community has achieved, particularly in terms of the gut-brain axis and its complex interactions that impact the human mind. Our work at Ani Biome is dedicated to exploring the connections, signals, and "inner microbial voices" that drive specific patterns within the microbiome and beyond, and we continually look for partners who are committed to conducting high-level studies and are open to challenging existing paradigms. #AniBiome #gutbrainaxis #clinicalstudy #fermentedfood #gutmicrobiome

Struggling with weight loss despite your efforts? It's not your fault. In a groundbreaking study published in Nature Medicine, analyzing 52,000 individuals, researchers discovered a common factor in every overweight person: lower levels of brown adipose tissue. This significant finding highlights the role of brown fat in weight management. Learn how high levels of brown adipose tissue can be the key to reducing fat. Discover the science behind weight loss – it's more than just diet and exercise.click here
