Applied Bioenergetics Lab
Advancing Science for Healthier Life
Disturbances in cellular energy homeostasis are considered a key element of different conditions – from cardiometabolic and neurodegenerative diseases to athletic performance and aging, with improving bioenergetics remains a challenging task for both industry and academia.
Here in Applied Bioenergetics Lab, we strive to advance novel dietary supplements and similar therapeutics that protect and restore tissue bioenergetics and metabolism in health and disease, by joint our forces with different partners.
Our lab is one of the most active research units at UNS, publishing 12-15 scientific articles per year in premier journals. Stay informed about our activities by clicking on the links below!

How much GAA is consumed via regular diet?
We found here that the dietary exposure to GAA is relatively low among the US adults, with the average intake (∼10 mg/day) only contributes marginally to the total daily turnover of creatine.
Our study in Creatine 2022
Our recent study describing links between dietary creatine and growth indicators in children and adolescent has been recently presented at scientific conference Creatine 2022
Guanidinoacetate-creatine in MS
Patients with SPMS may benefit from guanidinoacetate-creatine treatment in terms of patient- and clinician-reported outcomes; this requires additional study.
Creatine: a conditionally essential nutrient
Humans have to obtain enough creatine from the diet, which nominates creatine as an essential nutrient in certain circumstances.
Hydrogen affects molecular and phenotypic biomarkers of aging
Six-month HRW intake (0.5 L per day) favorably affected several aging-related features in healthy elderly. For instance, HRW extended mean telomere length by ~4% and tended to improve DNA methylation.
