Thyrotrophin-releasing hormone decreases feeding and increases body temperature, activity and oxygen consumption in Siberian hamsters (2007)
Journal Article
Schuhler, S., Warner, A., Finney, N., Bennett, G. W., Ebling, F. J., & Brameld, J. M. (2007). Thyrotrophin-releasing hormone decreases feeding and increases body temperature, activity and oxygen consumption in Siberian hamsters. Journal of Neuroendocrinology, 19(4), 239-249. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2826.2006.01524.x

Thyrotrophin-releasing hormone (TRH) is known to play an important role in the control of food intake and energy metabolism in addition to its actions on the pituitary-thyroid axis. We have previously shown that central administration of TRH decrease...

Background: The cysteine protease Der p 1 from the house dust mite Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus is one of the most potent allergens known. An attractive mechanism for a component of Der p 1 allergenicity lies in its ability to cleave key regulatory...

Nematicidal effects of cysteine proteinases against sedentary plant parasitic nematodes (2007)
Journal Article
Stepek, G., Curtis, R., Kerry, B., Shewry, P., Clark, S., Lowe, A., Duce, I., Buttle, D. J., & Behnke, J. (2007). Nematicidal effects of cysteine proteinases against sedentary plant parasitic nematodes. Parasitology, 134(12), https://doi.org/10.1017/S0031182007003289

Cysteine proteinases from the fruit and latex of plants, such as papaya, pineapple and fig, have previously been shown to have substantial anthelmintic efficacy, in vitro and in vivo, against a range of animal parasitic nematodes. In this paper, we d... Read More about Nematicidal effects of cysteine proteinases against sedentary plant parasitic nematodes.

Anthelmintic action of plant cysteine proteinases against the rodent stomach nematode, Protospirura muricola, in vitro and in vivo (2007)
