Andy’s research interests lie in the study of the physiological and biochemical responses to exercise and training. The focus of his recent work has been on postprandial lipaemia, appetite endocrinology and aspects of the Metabolic Syndrome. He is currently studying the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effect of walking on the blood fat concentration after eating, and the effect of exercise on the hormonal regulation of hunger.
Current collaborations
He is currently collaborating with Dr George Balanos to investigate the effect of prior exercise on the subsequent meal-induced regional blood flow, and Dr Edward Chambers to investigate the effect of exercise on the brain’s response to images of food.
