The role of histamine 3 receptors in the control of food intake in a seasonal model of obesity: The Siberian hamster. Behavioural Pharmacology, 20(2), 155-165. https://doi.org/10.1097/FBP.0b013e32832a8099

Siberian hamsters develop hypophagia and increase catabolism of fat reserves in response to short photoperiods resulting in a natural loss of body weight in winter. We previously found that histamine 3 receptor (H3R) mRNA in the posterior hypothalamu...

Transient hypothyroidism induced by propyl-2-thiouracyl blocks postpartum Leydig cell development. In the present study, the effects of chronic hypothyroidism on the formation of this adult-type Leydig cell population were investigated, using a more...

Gamma-irradiation as a method of microbiological control, and its impact on the oxidative labile lipid component of Cannabis sativa and Helianthus annus (2008)
Journal Article

Gamma-irradiation as a method of microbiological control, and its impact on the oxidative labile lipid component of Cannabis sativa and Helianthus annus. European Food Research and Technology, 228(4), 613-621. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00217-008-0970-3

The effect of irradiation (0-20 kGy) on hemp and sunflower seeds was assessed, with specific reference to the oxidatively labile lipid component (unsaturated fatty acids and tocochromanols). Total protein, lipid, and solids content of the seeds did n...

Relaxin signalling in primary cultures of human myometrial cells (2008)
Journal Article
Heng, K., Ivell, R., Wagaarachchi, P., & Anand-Ivell, R. (2008). Relaxin signalling in primary cultures of human myometrial cells. Molecular Human Reproduction, 14(10), 603-611. https://doi.org/10.1093/molehr/gan051

In myometrium of pigs and rats, though not humans, relaxin appears to mediate an inhibition of spontaneous and oxytocin-induced contractility, presumably acting through a G-protein coupled receptor (RXFP1) to generate cAMP. In humans, circulating rel... Read More about Relaxin signalling in primary cultures of human myometrial cells.

Oxidative stability of sunflower oil bodies (2008)
Journal Article
Fisk, I. D., White, D. A., Lad, M., & Gray, D. A. (2008). Oxidative stability of sunflower oil bodies. European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, 110(10), 962-968. https://doi.org/10.1002/ejlt.200800051

This study investigates the oxidative stability of sunflower oil body suspensions (10 wt-% lipid). Two washed suspensions of oil bodies were evaluated over 8 days at three temperatures (5, 25 and 45 °C) against three comparable sunflower oil emulsion...

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.

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

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...
