Effects of exercise intensity on plasma concentrations of appetite-regulating hormones: Potential mechanisms
TL;DR: Blood redistribution during exercise may be important for suppressing ghrelin, while other mechanisms involving cytokine release, changes in plasma glucose and insulin concentrations, SNS activity, and muscle metabolism likely mediate changes in the anorexigenic signals PYY and GLP-1.

GDF15 promotes weight loss by enhancing energy expenditure in muscle
Dongdong Wang,Logan K. Townsend,Geneviève J. DesOrmeaux,Sara M. Frangos,Battsetseg Batchuluun,Lauralyne Dumont,Rune E. Kuhre,Sumei Hu,Irena A. Rebalka,Chantal A. Pileggi,Eric M. Desjardins,Evangelia E. Tsakiridis,James Lally,Emma Sara Juracic,A. Russell Tupling,Hertzel C. Gerstein,Guillaume Paré,Theodoros Tsakiridis,Mary-Ellen Harper,Thomas J. Hawke,John R. Speakman,Denis P. Blondin,Graham P. Holloway,Sebastian Beck Jørgensen,Gregory R. Steinberg +24 more
TL;DR: The authors showed that GDF15-GFRAL pathway may be useful for maintaining energy expenditure in skeletal muscle during caloric restriction, eliciting greater weight loss and reductions in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) compared to caloric restriction alone.
Modified sprint interval training protocols. Part I. Physiological responses.
Logan K. Townsend,Hashim Islam,Emily Dunn,Mark A. Eys,Jennifer Robertson-Wilson,Tom J. Hazell +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that shorter SIT work bouts that target peak power generation increase exercise EE without compromising postexercise EE, though longer bouts promote greater postex exercise fat utilization.

Potential involvement of lactate and interleukin-6 in the appetite-regulatory hormonal response to an acute exercise bout
Hashim Islam,Logan K. Townsend,Greg L. McKie,Philip J. Medeiros,Brendon J. Gurd,Tom J. Hazell +5 more
TL;DR: The findings support a clear intensity-dependent paradigm for appetite-regulation following exercise, as highlighted by the change in acylated ghrelin and the suppression of appetite and energy intake after vigorous exercise (continuous and intermittent).

Exercise Intensity and Recovery on Circulating Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor.
Joshua T Reycraft,Hashim Islam,Logan K. Townsend,Grant C. Hayward,Tom J. Hazell,Rebecca E. K. MacPherson +5 more
TL;DR: These results identify SIT as a time-efficient exercise modality to promote brain health through BDNF release in an intensity-dependent manner with SIT eliciting the highest BDNF concentration immediately postexercise.
