Louise Bradshaw

Louise Bradshaw is a Research Fellow in the Department for Health at the University of Bath. Her research focuses on human physiology, particularly metabolic responses to exercise and dietary interventions. She investigates sex differences in metabolism, effects of various diets on glucose tolerance and lipid metabolism, and methodological considerations in physiological research.

Key research areas include:

• Exercise metabolism and substrate utilization
• Effects of fasting and ketogenic diets
• Sex-specific metabolic responses
• Glucose and lipid metabolism regulation
• Standardization of physiological research methods

Her publications demonstrate consistent focus on metabolic pathways, exercise physiology, and nutrition science. Recent work includes randomized controlled trials examining how ketogenic diets affect glucose tolerance and gut microbiome composition compared to simple sugar restriction.

Dr. Bradshaw collaborates extensively within the University of Bath's health research community. Her work has been recognized through publication in high-impact journals including Cell Reports Medicine and Journal of Applied Physiology.
