Morphology, adipocyte size, and fatty acid analysis of dairy cattle digital cushions, and the effect of body condition score and age (2021)
Journal Article
Newsome, R. F., Mostyn, A., Wilson, J. P., Alibhai, A., Bollard, N., Randall, L., …Rutland, C. S. (2021). Morphology, adipocyte size, and fatty acid analysis of dairy cattle digital cushions, and the effect of body condition score and age. Journal of Dairy Science, 104(5), https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2020-19388

The digital cushion is an essential part of maintaining a healthy foot, working to dissipate foot strike and body weight forces and lameness from claw horn disruption lesions. Despite the importance of the digital cushion, little is known about the b...

Fatty acids in veterinary medicine and research (2017)
Book Chapter
Rutland, C. S., Mostyn, A., & Simpson, S. (2017). Fatty acids in veterinary medicine and research. In A. Catala (Ed.), Fatty acids. InTechOpen. https://doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.68440

Fatty acid regulation is an essential process for all animals. A number of studies have shown that diet affects the levels/availability of fatty acids in the body but increasingly evidence shows that disease states can alter the amounts within the bo...

Molecular Characterization of Adipose Tissue in the African Elephant (Loxodonta africana) (2014)
Journal Article
Nilsson, E. M., Fainberg, H. P., Choong, S. S., Giles, T. C., Sells, J., May, S., …Yon, L. (2014). Molecular Characterization of Adipose Tissue in the African Elephant (Loxodonta africana). PLoS ONE, 9(3), Article e91717. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0091717

Adipose tissue (AT) is a dynamic and flexible organ with regulatory roles in physiological functions including metabolism, reproduction and inflammation; secreted adipokines, including leptin, and fatty acids facilitate many of these roles. The Afric... Read More about Molecular Characterization of Adipose Tissue in the African Elephant (Loxodonta africana).

Ontogeny and nutritional programming of mitochondrial proteins in the ovine kidney, liver and lung (2007)
Journal Article
Yakubu, D., Mostyn, A., Hyatt, M., Kurlak, L., Budge, H., Stephenson, T., & Symonds, M. E. (2007). Ontogeny and nutritional programming of mitochondrial proteins in the ovine kidney, liver and lung. Reproduction, 134, https://doi.org/10.1530/REP-07-0155

This study investigated the developmental and nutritional programming of two important mitochondrial proteins, namely voltage dependent anion channel (VDAC) and cytochrome c in the sheep kidney, liver and lung. The effect of maternal nutrient restric... Read More about Ontogeny and nutritional programming of mitochondrial proteins in the ovine kidney, liver and lung.

Maternal nutrition alters the expression of insulin-like growth factors in fetal sheep liver and skeletal muscle (2000)
Journal Article
Brameld, J. M., Mostyn, A., Dandrea, J., Stephenson, T. J., Dawson, J. M., Buttery, P. J., & Symonds, M. E. (2000). Maternal nutrition alters the expression of insulin-like growth factors in fetal sheep liver and skeletal muscle. Journal of Endocrinology, 167(3), 429-437. https://doi.org/10.1677/joe.0.1670429

We investigated the influence of maternal dietary restriction between days 28 and 80 of gestation followed by re-feeding to the intake of well-fed ewes up to 140 days of gestation (term is 147 days) in sheep, on expression of mRNA for insulin-like gr...

Maternal nutrient restriction during early to mid gestation alters the relationship between insulin-like growth factor I and bodyweight at term in fetal sheep (2000)
Journal Article
Heasman, L., Brameld, J., Mostyn, A., Budge, H., Dawson, J., Buttery, P., …Symonds, M. E. (2000). Maternal nutrient restriction during early to mid gestation alters the relationship between insulin-like growth factor I and bodyweight at term in fetal sheep. Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 12(7-8), 345-350. https://doi.org/10.1071/RD00115

The present study was designed to determine whether altered placental size, as a consequence of maternal nutrient restriction in sheep between 28 and 77 days gestation, is associated with a modified relationship between fetal weight or dimensions and...
