DFG-funded HyperMet Research Unit (FOR 5795)
@hypermet.bsky.social
The aim of the HyperMet research unit is to investigate the metabolic health effects of skeletal muscle hypertrophy and atrophy using advanced methods of metabolic research. Speakers Henning Wackerhage & Hanna Taipaleenmäki
Troy Hornberger leads research into how hypertrophying muscle generates additional biomass. He is giving the 18th HyperMet talk on the 4th of December from 15-16 h Munich time. The Zoom link is: tum-conf.zoom-x.de/j/6756494866...

Great to see so many HyperMet members and exercise physiologists with metabolomics data at the DGMet meeting in Hannover. This is a growing field and it is important for us to learn to not only generate data mountains but new ideas that are useful for practice!

One major, unsolved problem is all those unknown signals in MS metabolomics data. To predict what they are, Mike Skinneder has developed DeeMet. He will give the 17th HyperMet talk next Thursday at 15 h Munich time. Join here (please RT): tum-conf.zoom-x.de/j/6392132327...

Really looking forward to Lykke Sylow given the 16th HyperMet talk this Thursday 15 h. Whe will talk about the effect of hypertrophy stimulation on fat mass and glucose homeostasis (recent preprint). Please RT and join here: tum-conf.zoom-x.de/j/6903199711...

Monday the 28.07. is the deadline for submitting posters for the meeting in Hanover on the 1.-2. of October 2025. Join if you are interested in metabolomics, the vLamax or other exercise & muscle metabolism topics! Many HyperMet researchers will attend! dgmet.de/event/save-t...

Right after the fantastic talk by David Glass we have Jonathan Z. Long giving a talk on Thursday, 22. May 2025 17-18 h Munich time. Jonathans' team has identified exercise and diet-regulated metabolites such as lac-phe that control appetite. Listen in!

Just a reminder for all the Munich people that Karsten Köhler is organising this event on Wednesday for free!

Munich researchers have contributed to developing weight loss treatments such as Wegovy. However, patients lose muscle. In contrast, global muscle hypertrophy also causes major fat loss. Which works better? Join the symposium organised by Karsten Köhler here: collab.dvb.bayern/pages/viewpa...

Thanks all for joining the launch of the @dfg.de funded FOR5795 HyperMet. Effects of skeletal muscle hypertrophy and atrophy on metabolic health! We started with resistance training and had talks to introduce HyperMet and advanced metabolic research.
