Dietary protein, muscle and the fat-free mass within the Protein-Stat control framework: Blaxter Award Lecture 2025 Open
My research on dietary protein and the regulation of proteostasis in muscle and the whole body during growth and adult maintenance is reviewed. Growth control involves both permissive and regulatory roles of protein acting with genetic det…

Post-prandial tracer studies of protein and amino acid utilisation: what can they tell us about human amino acid and protein requirements? Open
Nitrogen balance (NB), the principal methodology used to derive recommendations for human protein and amino acid requirements, has been widely criticised, and calls for increased protein and amino acid requirement recommendations have been…

Post-natal muscle growth and protein turnover: a narrative review of current understanding Open
A model explaining the dietary-protein-driven post-natal skeletal muscle growth and protein turnover in the rat is updated, and the mechanisms involved are described, in this narrative review. Dietary protein controls both bone length and …

Interactions between Growth of Muscle and Stature: Mechanisms Involved and Their Nutritional Sensitivity to Dietary Protein: The Protein-Stat Revisited Open
Childhood growth and its sensitivity to dietary protein is reviewed within a Protein-Stat model of growth regulation. The coordination of growth of muscle and stature is a combination of genetic programming, and of two-way mechanical inter…

Dietary protein and bone health: towards a synthesised view Open
The present paper reviews published literature on the relationship between dietary protein and bone health. It will include arguments both for and against the anabolic and catabolic effects of dietary protein on bone health. Adequate prote…

John Conrad Waterlow. 13 June 1916—19 October 2010 Open
John Waterlow was an inspiring clinical and laboratory-based nutritional scientist, who was recognized as paterfamilias of a large, international and influential group of distinguished acolytes. His early work was characterized by study of…

The application of stable‐isotope tracers to study human musculoskeletal protein turnover: a tale of bag filling and bag enlargement Open
The nutritional regulation of protein and amino acid balance in human skeletal muscle carried out by the authors with Mike Rennie is reviewed in the context of a simple physiological model for the regulation of the maintenance and growth o…
