Towards Estimation of Frontcrawl Energy Expenditure Using the Wearable Aquatic Movement Analysis System (WAMAS)

Kamiar Aminian, Grégoire Millet, Farzin Dadashi, Florent Crettenand

Inertial measurement unit (IMU) is a promising tool in the quantification of energy expenditure for human on-land activities, though has never been deployed before to calculate the aquatic activities energy expenditure. Investigating the factors that influ ...

Effects of Robotic Knee Exoskeleton on Human Energy Expenditure

Tadej Petric

A number of studies discuss the design and control of various exoskeleton mechanisms, yet relatively few address the effect on the energy expenditure of the user. In this paper, we discuss the effect of a performance augmenting exoskeleton on the metabolic ...

Conjugated Bile Acids Associate with Altered Rates of Glucose and Lipid Oxidation after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

Johan Auwerx

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) induces a more favorable metabolic profile than expected by weight loss alone. In this study, we investigated the effect of RYGB on serum bile acid levels and their relation to clinical outcomes. We included 30 ...

A guide to analysis of mouse energy metabolism

Johan Auwerx

We present a consolidated view of the complexity and challenges of designing studies for measurement of energy metabolism in mouse models, including a practical guide to the assessment of energy expenditure, energy intake and body composition and statistic ...

Lowering bile acid pool size with a synthetic farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist induces obesity and diabetes through reduced energy expenditure

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Chikage Mataki

We evaluated the metabolic impact of farnesoid X receptor (FXR) activation by administering a synthetic FXR agonist (GW4064) to mice in which obesity was induced by a high fat diet. Administration of GW4064 accentuated body weight gain and glucose intolera ...

PARP-2 Regulates SIRT1 Expression and Whole-Body Energy Expenditure

Johan Auwerx, Carlos Canto Alvarez, Hiroyasu Yamamoto

SIRT1 is a NAD+-dependent enzyme that affects metabolism by deacetylating key transcriptional regulators of energy expenditure. Here, we tested whether deletion of PARP-2, an alternative NAD+-consuming enzyme, impacts on NAD+ bioavailability and SIRT1 acti ...

Metabolic principles of river basin organization

Andrea Rinaldo

The metabolism of a river basin is defined as the set of processes through which the basin maintains its structure and responds to its environment. Green (or biotic) metabolism is measured via transpiration and blue (or abiotic) metabolism through runoff. ...

Oscillator-based Walking Assistance: a Model-free Approach

Auke Ijspeert, Jesse van den Kieboom, Renaud Ronsse

In this paper, we further develop our framework to design new assistance and rehabilitation protocols based on motor primitives. In particular, we extend our recent results of oscillator-based assistance to the case of walking. The adaptive oscillator used ...

SIRT1 mRNA Expression May Be Associated with Energy Expenditure and Insulin Sensitivity

Johan Auwerx, Hiroyasu Yamamoto

Objective - Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is implicated in the regulation of mitochondrial function, energy metabolism, and insulin sensitivity in rodents. No studies are available in humans to demonstrate that SIRT1 expression in insulin sensitive tissues is associat ...
