Leggate, M., Florida-James, G., Ross, M., Jurevicius, M., Duncan, G., & Lithgow, H. (2019, December). The effects of age and acute aerobic and resistance exercise on circulating T lymphocyte vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression in healthy males. Presented at Future Physiology, Liverpool, UK

A low vitamin D status has been identified as an association risk factor in the etiology of numerous chronic diseases, with older adults identified as generally more deficient than younger populations. Exercise has been shown to act as a direct and i...

The combined effect of high-intensity intermittent training and vitamin D supplementation on glycemic control in overweight and obese adults (2018)
Journal Article
Lithgow, H. M., Florida-James, G., & Leggate, M. (2018). The combined effect of high-intensity intermittent training and vitamin D supplementation on glycemic control in overweight and obese adults. Physiological Reports, 6(9), Article e13684. https://doi.org/10.14814/phy2.13684

High intensity intermittent training (HIIT) has been shown to reduce the risk of chronic conditions including the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Independently, a low vitamin D status has also been linked to the prevalence of T2DM. Th...

The Effect of a Single Bout of High Intensity Intermittent Exercise on Glucose Tolerance in Non-diabetic Older Adults (2018)
Journal Article
Lithgow, H., & Leggate, M. (2018). The Effect of a Single Bout of High Intensity Intermittent Exercise on Glucose Tolerance in Non-diabetic Older Adults. International Journal of Exercise Science, 11(3), 95-105

Our aim was to investigate the acute effects of a single bout of high intensity intermittent training (HIIT) on glucose tolerance and other physiological and metabolic markers in non-diabetic older adults. Fourteen healthy older adults (age, 64 ± 2 y... Read More about The Effect of a Single Bout of High Intensity Intermittent Exercise on Glucose Tolerance in Non-diabetic Older Adults.

The effect of physical activity on mediators of inflammation (2013)
Journal Article
Nimmo, M. A., Leggate, M., Viana, J. L., & King, J. A. (2013). The effect of physical activity on mediators of inflammation. Diabetes, obesity & metabolism, 15(s3), 51-60. https://doi.org/10.1111/dom.12156

Being physically active and undertaking exercise on a regular basis are critical lifestyle behaviours which protect against the development of numerous chronic metabolic conditions. One of the key mechanisms by which physical activity exerts favourab... Read More about The effect of physical activity on mediators of inflammation.

The response of circulating levels of the interleukin-6/interleukin-6 receptor complex to exercise in young men (2009)
Journal Article
Gray, S. R., Clifford, M., Lancaster, R., Leggate, M., Davies, M., & Nimmo, M. A. (2009). The response of circulating levels of the interleukin-6/interleukin-6 receptor complex to exercise in young men. Cytokine, 47(2), 98-102. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cyto.2009.05.011

The formation of an interleukin-6/IL-6 receptor (IL-6/IL-6R) complex increases the biological activity and half-life of IL-6, with its response to exercise currently unknown. The aim of the present study was to determine the response of circulating l...
