Evaluating steady-state resting energy expenditure using indirect calorimetry in adults with overweight and obesity.
2019
Clin Nutr.
Popp CJ, Butler M, Curran M, Illiano P, Sevick MA, St-Jules DE.

Managing hyperkalemia: Another benefit of exercise in people with chronic kidney disease?
2019
J Ren Nutr.
St-Jules DE, Marinaro M, Goldfarb DS, Byham-Gray LD, Wilund KR.
People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk of hyperkalemia, an electrolyte abnormality that can cause serious, sometimes fatal, cardiac arrhythmias. Muscle contraction causes...
Managing protein-energy wasting in hemodialysis patients: A comparison of animal- and plant-based protein foods.
2019
Semin Dial.
St-Jules DE, Goldfarb DS, Popp CJ, Pompeii ML, Liebman SE.
Protein-energy wasting (PEW) is a major diet-related complication in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Nutrient-based dietary guidelines emphasize animal-based protein foods for preventing and managing PEW...
