Myosin heavy chain mRNA isoforms are expressed in two distinct cohorts during C2C12 myogenesis (2011)
Journal Article

The regulation of muscle fibre transitions has mainly been studied in vivo using conventional histological or immunohistochemical techniques. In order to investigate the molecular regulation of myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoform expression in cell cul...

Regional variation in angiotensin converting enzyme activity in the human placenta (2011)
Journal Article

Sensitivity of chorionic plate arteries to angiotensin II (AngII) is greatest at the placental periphery. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is central to the synthesis of AngII and is present in the placental vasculature. We measured vascular ACE a...

Use of the Affymetrix human GeneChip array and genomic DNA hybridisation probe selection to study ovine transcriptomes (2011)
Journal Article

Affymetrix GeneChip microarrays are a powerful tool to study global gene expression profiles and have been used on many species. However, no sheep-specific Affymetrix GeneChip is currently available and the bovine array is fairly limited in its cover...

Advances in research on the prenatal development of skeletal muscle in animals in relation to the quality of muscle-based food. I. Regulation of myogenesis and environmental impact (2011)
Journal Article

Skeletal muscle development in vertebrates - also termed myogenesis - is a highly integrated process. Evidence to date indicates that the processes are very similar across mammals, poultry and fish, although the timings of the various steps differ co...

Advances in research on the prenatal development of skeletal muscle in animals in relation to the quality of muscle-based food. II - Genetic factors related to animal performance and advances in methodology (2011)
Journal Article

Selective breeding is an effective tool to improve livestock. Several selection experiments have been conducted to study direct selection responses as well as correlated responses in traits of skeletal muscle growth and function. Moreover, comparison...
