The KETO-GENETIC project
This project aims to increase our understanding of the relationship between ketosis and heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer and kidney disease.
How diet manipulation impacts energy balance and physical activity levels
This study will examine how diets varying in carbohydrate, fat, and sugar effect energy balance and physical activity levels.
High-intensity interval training for cardiometabolic health benefits in chronic paraplegia
This study will determine if upper-body high-intensity interval training is effective at improving cardiometabolic health outcomes in people with paraplegia.
Mobilising vitamin D sequestered in adipose tissue in humans with exercise (VitaDEx)
Vitamin D can become ‘trapped’ in our adipose (fat) tissue and this study will examine whether exercise can help to release it.
How altering breakfast consumption impacts energy balance and metabolism
This study will investigate the effects of altering the protein content of breakfast on energy balance and metabolism.
Take part in our research
Our Centre's members are research active. They often require volunteers to take part in research studies.
Help us research the links between a low-carbohydrate diet and disease
We need volunteers to take part in our research into how a very low carbohydrate diet can influence disease risk. You'll receive £150 for completing the study.
Take part in our study about body size and metabolic health
We are inviting you take part in our study investigating the metabolism of individuals with extreme body size to manage health risks.
