Hypertension is a major risk factor for the development of CVD. Epidemiological studies have shown that low birth weight increases the risk of developing hypertension in adulthood. Hypertension increases the risk of suffering IHD and early findings p...

This review will focus on the evidence for in utero effects on development of skeletal muscle in farm and laboratory animals, particularly sheep and pigs. We will describe genetic and environmental factors that have been shown to alter the numbers of... Read More about In utero effects on livestock muscle development and body composition.

Loss of prokineticin receptor 2 signaling predisposes mice to torpor (2008)
Journal Article

AJP - Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 294(6), R1968-R1979. https://doi.org/10.1152/ajpregu.00778.2007

The genes encoding prokineticin 2 polypeptide (Prok2) and its cognate receptor (Prokr2/Gpcr73l1) are widely expressed in both the suprachiasmatic nucleus and its hypothalamic targets, and this signaling pathway has been implicated in the circadian re...

Role of VGF-derived peptides in the control of food intake, body weight and reproduction (2008)
Journal Article
Jethwa, P. H., & Ebling, F. J. P. (2008). Role of VGF-derived peptides in the control of food intake, body weight and reproduction. Neuroendocrinology, 88(2), 80-87. https://doi.org/10.1159/000127319

VGF is a 68-kDa polypeptide synthesized in neuronal and neuroendocrine cells. It is cleaved into a number of smaller peptides which are stored in dense core vesicles and are likely to be secreted products. The VGF gene is expressed abundantly in the...

Insulin-like factor 3 levels in amniotic fluid of human male fetuses (2008)
Journal Article
Anand-Ivell, R., Ivell, R., Driscoll, D., & Manson, J. (2008). Insulin-like factor 3 levels in amniotic fluid of human male fetuses. Human Reproduction, 23(5), 1180-1186. https://doi.org/10.1093/humrep/den038

BACKGROUND: Rodent studies suggest that the peptide hormone insulin-like factor 3 (Insl3) made by the fetal testis is responsible for the first transabdominal phase of testicular descent, and may be affected by xenobiotics to disrupt male reproductiv...

Stabilization of soybean oil bodies using protective pectin coatings formed by electrostatic deposition (2008)
Journal Article
Iwanaga, D., Gray, D., Decker, E. A., Weiss, J., & McClements, D. J. (2008). Stabilization of soybean oil bodies using protective pectin coatings formed by electrostatic deposition. Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 56(6), 2240-2245. https://doi.org/10.1021/jf073060y

Soybeans contain oil bodies that are naturally coated by a layer of phospholipids and proteins. In nature, this coating protects the oil bodies from environmental stresses and could be utilized by food manufacturers for the same purpose. However, nat...

Effects of dietary polyphenols on gene expression in human vascular endothelial cells (2008)
Journal Article

Previous studies have shown that consumption of fruit and vegetables plays a role in preventing the onset of CVD. These beneficial effects have been linked to the presence of polyphenolic compounds in plant-derived foods and their antioxidant capacit...

The small peptide hormone relaxin is a member of a rapidly evolving family of hormones and growth factors, whose mode of action appears to be particularly adapted to purely mammalian physiology. It is representative of a new category of hormones, ref... Read More about Diverse signalling mechanisms used by relaxin in natural cells and tissues: The evolution of a "neohormone".
