One of my favourite comps readings: Regitz-Zagrosek & Gebhard (2023).
Sex ≠ gender — and in cardiovascular disease, they often push outcomes in opposite directions.
Time for more sex- and gender-specific exercise & nutrition guidelines.

Capillaries are crucial for delivering blood throughout the body, but how can they exert this control without the ability to physically alter blood flow?

Research by Dr. @CoralMurrant @UofG_HHNS sheds light on how capillaries & arterioles communicate.

Skeletal muscle O2 delivery is commonly viewed as being tightly matched to O2 demand; however, previous work showed that ~40% of individuals were unable to match delivery to demand after a challenge to blood flow. My thesis work is exploring why that is.

The completion of exercise in a semi-upright body position is common when assessing cardiac function. However, the underlying physiology of semi-upright cycling remains poorly understood. Throwback to #ACSM2023. More to come soon!
