Journal Article
Rose, P., Moore, P. K., Whiteman, M., Kirk, C., & Zhu, Y.-Z. (2021). Diet and Hydrogen Sulfide Production in Mammals. Antioxidants and Redox Signaling, 34(17), 1378-1393. https://doi.org/10.1089/ars.2020.8217

Significance: In recent times, it has emerged that some dietary sulfur compounds can act on mammalian cell signaling systems via their propensity to release hydrogen sulfide (H2S). H2S plays important biochemical and physiological roles in the heart,... Read More about Diet and Hydrogen Sulfide Production in Mammals.

Early postnatal exposure to a cafeteria diet interferes with recency and spatial memory, but not open field habituation in adolescent rats (2020)
Journal Article
Wait, J., Burns, C., Jones, T., Harper, Z., Allen, E., Langley-Evans, S. C., & Voigt, J. (2021). Early postnatal exposure to a cafeteria diet interferes with recency and spatial memory, but not open field habituation in adolescent rats. Developmental Psychobiology, 63(3), 572-581. https://doi.org/10.1002/dev.22063

The cafeteria diet (CD), an experimental diet that mimics the obesogenic Western diet, can impair memory in adult rats. However, the suckling period is also particularly susceptible to diet‐induced behavioural modification. Here, following exposure t...

Background: Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) is hypogonadism due to either hypothalamic or pituitary dysfunction. While gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) can directly test pituitary function, no specific test of hypothalamic function exists. Ki...
