Psyllium reduces insulin-induced colonic gas production in irritable bowel syndrome: MRI and in vitro fermentation studies (2021)
Journal Article
Gunn, D., Abbas, Z., Harris, H., Major, G., Hoad, C., Gowland, P., …Spiller, R. (2022). Psyllium reduces insulin-induced colonic gas production in irritable bowel syndrome: MRI and in vitro fermentation studies. Gut, 71(5), 919-927. https://doi.org/10.1136/gutjnl-2021-324784

Objective: Health promoting dietary fibre including inulin often triggers gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), limiting their intake. Our aim was to test if co-administering psyllium with inulin would reduce gas...

UDP-sugars activate P2Y 14 receptors to mediate vasoconstriction of the porcine coronary artery (2017)
Journal Article
Abbas, Z. S., Latif, M. L., Dovlatova, N., Fox, S. C., Heptinstall, S., Dunn, W. R., & Ralevic, V. (2018). UDP-sugars activate P2Y 14 receptors to mediate vasoconstriction of the porcine coronary artery. Vascular Pharmacology, 103-105, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vph.2017.12.063

Aims UDP-sugars can act as extracellular signalling molecules, but relatively little is known about their cardiovascular actions. The P2Y14 receptor is a Gi/o-coupled receptor which is activated by UDP-glucose and related sugar nucleotides. In thi...
