[HTML][HTML] Anabolic sensitivity of postprandial muscle protein synthesis to the ingestion of a protein-dense food is reduced in overweight and obese young adults

…, J Nallabelli, RS Emmons, S Van Vliet… - The American journal of …, 2016 - Elsevier
Background: Excess body fat diminishes muscle protein synthesis rates in response to

Image hijacks: Adversarial images can control generative models at runtime

L Bailey, E Ong, S Russell, S Emmons - arXiv preprint arXiv:2309.00236, 2023 - arxiv.org
Are foundation models secure from malicious actors? In this work, we focus on the image
input to a vision-language model (VLM). We discover image hijacks, adversarial images that …

An empirical investigation of representation learning for imitation

X Chen, S Toyer, C Wild, S Emmons, I Fischer… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Imitation learning often needs a large demonstration set in order to handle the full range of
situations that an agent might find itself in during deployment. However, collecting expert …

Macrophage immunometabolism and inflammaging: roles of mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, CD38, and NAD

JR Yarbro, RS Emmons, BD Pence - Immunometabolism, 2020 - journals.lww.com
Aging is a complex process that involves dysfunction on multiple levels, all of which seem to
converge on inflammation. Macrophages are intimately involved in initiating and resolving …

Time-dependent regulation of postprandial muscle protein synthesis rates after milk protein ingestion in young men

…, AM Holwerda, RS Emmons… - Journal of Applied …, 2019 - journals.physiology.org
The anabolic action of “fast” whey protein on the regulation of postprandial muscle protein
synthesis has been established to be short-lived in healthy young adults. We assessed the …
