Relaxin family peptides in the male reproductive system-a critical appraisal (2010)
Journal Article
Ivell, R., Kotula-Balak, M., Glynn, D., Heng, K., & Anand-Ivell, R. (2011). Relaxin family peptides in the male reproductive system-a critical appraisal. Molecular Human Reproduction, 17(2), 71-84. https://doi.org/10.1093/molehr/gaq086

The human genome project has identified, besides ovarian relaxin (RLN), six other relaxin-like molecules (RLN3, H1-RLN, INSL3-6), most of which appear to be expressed in the testis and/or male reproductive system, together with four different G-prote...

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α is involved in the pro-angiogenic effect of hydrogen sulfide under hypoxic stress (2010)
Journal Article
Liu, X. H., Pan, L. L., Zhuo, Y., Gong, Q. H., Rose, P., & Zhu, Y. Z. (2010). Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α is involved in the pro-angiogenic effect of hydrogen sulfide under hypoxic stress. Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 33(9), 1550-1554. https://doi.org/10.1248/bpb.33.1550

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is known to have pro-angiogenic properties in mammals. In this study, we examined H2S played the role in pro-angiogenesis mediated by hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α under hypoxic conditions. Rat brain capillary endothelial c...

Protein restriction in the pregnant mouse modifies fetal growth and pulmonary development: Role of fetal exposure to β-hydroxybutyrate (2010)
Journal Article
Langley-Evans, S. C., Daniel, Z. C., Wells, C. A., Ryan, K. J., Plant, R., & Welham, S. J. (2011). Protein restriction in the pregnant mouse modifies fetal growth and pulmonary development: Role of fetal exposure to β-hydroxybutyrate. Experimental Physiology, 96(2), 203-215. https://doi.org/10.1113/expphysiol.2010.054460

Maternal undernutrition during sensitive periods of pregnancy results in offspring predisposed towards the development of a number of diseases of adulthood, including hypertension and diabetes. In order to determine the nature of any gross alteration...

Regulation of ovine and porcine stearoyl coenzyme A desaturase gene promoters by fatty acids and sterols (2010)
Journal Article
Zulkifli, R. M., Parr, T., Salter, A. M., & Brameld, J. M. (2010). Regulation of ovine and porcine stearoyl coenzyme A desaturase gene promoters by fatty acids and sterols. Journal of Animal Science, 88(8), 2565-2575. https://doi.org/10.2527/jas.2009-2603

Stearoyl CoA desaturase (SCD) is responsible for converting SFA into MUFA and plays an important role in regulating the fatty acid composition of tissues. Although the number of SCD isoforms differs among species, SCD-1 is the predominant isoform exp...

Stabilization of soybean oil bodies by enzyme (Laccase) cross-linking of adsorbed beet pectin coatings (2010)
Journal Article
Chen, B., McClements, D. J., Gray, D. A., & Decker, E. A. (2010). Stabilization of soybean oil bodies by enzyme (Laccase) cross-linking of adsorbed beet pectin coatings. Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 58(16), 9259-9265. https://doi.org/10.1021/jf102082u

Soybean oil bodies are naturally coated by a layer of phospholipids and oleosin proteins, which protect them from in vivo environmental stresses. When oil bodies are incorporated into food products, they encounter new environmental stresses such as c...

Oxidative stability of Echium plantagineum seed oil bodies (2010)
Journal Article
Gray, D. A., Payne, G., McClements, D. J., Decker, E. A., & Lad, M. (2010). Oxidative stability of Echium plantagineum seed oil bodies. European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, 112(7), 741-749. https://doi.org/10.1002/ejlt.200900280

Echium plantagineum seed contains a highly polyunsaturated oil (approximately 14% linoleic acid, 10% γ-linolenic acid, 33% α-linolenic acid and 14% stearidonic acid); almost half of the fatty acids are omega-3 fatty acids, so there is an interest in...

Effects of photoperiod on daily locomotor activity, energy expenditure, and feeding behavior in a seasonal mammal (2010)
Journal Article
Warner, A., Jethwa, P. H., Wyse, C. A., I'Anson, H., Brameld, J. M., & Ebling, F. J. (2010). Effects of photoperiod on daily locomotor activity, energy expenditure, and feeding behavior in a seasonal mammal. AJP - Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 298(5), R1409-R1416. https://doi.org/10.1152/ajpregu.00279.2009

The objective of this study was to determine whether the previously observed effects of photoperiod on body weight in Siberian hamsters were due to changes in the daily patterns of locomotor activity, energy expenditure, and/or feeding behavior. Adul... Read More about Effects of photoperiod on daily locomotor activity, energy expenditure, and feeding behavior in a seasonal mammal.

The effect of hydrogen sulfide donors on lipopolysaccharide-induced formation of inflammatory mediators in macrophages (2010)
Journal Article
Whiteman, M., Li, L., Rose, P., Tan, C. H., Parkinson, D. B., & Moore, P. K. (2010). The effect of hydrogen sulfide donors on lipopolysaccharide-induced formation of inflammatory mediators in macrophages. Antioxidants and Redox Signaling, 12(10), 1147-1154. https://doi.org/10.1089/ars.2009.2899

The role of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in inflammation is controversial, with both pro- and antiinflammatory effects documented. Many studies have used simple sulfide salts as the source of H2S, which give a rapid bolus of H2S in aqueous solutions and th...
