Parental protein malnutrition programmes of offspring growth and vasculature to increase risk of cardiovascular, pancreatic, and metabolic disease: lessons learned from animal studies (2017)
Journal Article
Ruiz-Diaz, M. D., Partridge, H., Davidson, F., Mongan, N. P., Gardner, D. S., & Rutland, C. S. (2017). Parental protein malnutrition programmes of offspring growth and vasculature to increase risk of cardiovascular, pancreatic, and metabolic disease: lessons learned from animal studies. European Medical Journal Reproductive Health, 3(1),

It is well known that consumption of a balanced diet throughout adulthood is key toward maintenance of optimal body weight and cardiovascular health. Research using animal models can provide insights into the programming of short and long-term health...

Tissue cell stress response to obesity and its interaction with late gestational diet (2017)
Journal Article
Saroha, V., Dellschaft, N. S., Keisler, D. H., Gardner, D. S., Budge, H., Sebert, S. P., & Symonds, M. E. (2018). Tissue cell stress response to obesity and its interaction with late gestational diet. Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 30, https://doi.org/10.1071/RD16494

Intra-uterine growth restriction in late pregnancy can contribute to adverse long term metabolic health in the offspring. We utilised an animal (sheep) model of maternal dietary manipulation in late pregnancy, combined with exposure of the offspring...

The detection of great crested newts year round via environmental DNA analysis (2017)
Journal Article
Rees, H. C., Baker, C. A., Gardner, D. S., Maddison, B. C., & Gough, K. C. (2017). The detection of great crested newts year round via environmental DNA analysis. BMC Research Notes, 10(1), Article 327. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13104-017-2657-y

Objective

Analysis of environmental DNA (eDNA) is a method that has been used for the detection of various species within water bodies. The great crested newt (Triturus cristatus) has a short eDNA survey season (mid-April to June). Here we investi...

Mineral status in canine medial coronoid process disease: a cohort study using analysis of hair by mass spectrometry (2017)
Journal Article
Davies, M., West, J., Williams, C., & Gardner, D. S. (in press). Mineral status in canine medial coronoid process disease: a cohort study using analysis of hair by mass spectrometry. Veterinary Record, 180(18), https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.103953

In several species, developmental skeletal diseases involving abnormal endochondral ossification have been associated with imbalanced mineral intake. Hair analysis reflects long-term mineral status. To determine the mineral content of hair from dogs... Read More about Mineral status in canine medial coronoid process disease: a cohort study using analysis of hair by mass spectrometry.
