Genome-wide methylation and gene expression changes in newborn rats following maternal protein restriction and reversal by folic acid (2013)
Journal Article

A large body of evidence from human and animal studies demonstrates that the maternal diet during pregnancy can programme physiological and metabolic functions in the developing fetus, effectively determining susceptibility to later disease. The mech... Read More about Genome-wide methylation and gene expression changes in newborn rats following maternal protein restriction and reversal by folic acid.

Exposure of neonatal rats to maternal cafeteria feeding during suckling alters hepatic gene expression and DNA methylation in the insulin signalling pathway (2013)
Journal Article

Nutrition in early life is a determinant of lifelong physiological and metabolic function. Diseases that are associated with ageing may, therefore, have their antecedents in maternal nutrition during pregnancy and lactation. Rat mothers were fed eith...

Mathematical analysis of a model for the growth of the bovine corpus luteum (2013)
Journal Article

© 2013, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. The corpus luteum (CL) is an ovarian tissue that grows in the wound space created by follicular rupture. It produces the progesterone needed in the uterus to maintain pregnancy. Rapid growth of the CL and pr... Read More about Mathematical analysis of a model for the growth of the bovine corpus luteum.

Journal Article

Campylobacter jejuni strain PT14 is a clinical isolate previously used to propagate bacteriophages in the United Kingdom phage typing scheme. The strain has proven useful in the isolation of Campylobacter bacteriophages from several sources, and it f...

The impact of cafeteria diet feeding on physiology and anxiety-related behaviour in male and female Sprague-Dawley rats of different ages (2013)
Journal Article

There is emerging experimental evidence that hyper-energetic diets not only cause obesity but also impact on behaviour in rodents. A hyper-energetic comfort diet/cafeteria diet (CD) fed during early development programmes anxiety-related behaviour in...

A female-emitted pheromone component is associated with reduced male courtship in the parasitoid wasp Spalangia endius (2013)
Journal Article

During courtship interactions, the courted individual may not always be prepared to mate. For example, mating or courtship may be detrimental to its fitness and resistance is expected under these circumstances. As such, various resistance strategies...

Increased function of pronociceptive TRPV1 at the level of the joint in a rat model of osteoarthritis pain (2013)
Journal Article

Objectives Blockade of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) with systemic antagonists attenuates osteoarthritis (OA) pain behaviour in rat models, but on-target-mediated hyperthermia has halted clinical trials. The present study investiga... Read More about Increased function of pronociceptive TRPV1 at the level of the joint in a rat model of osteoarthritis pain.

Sequential induction of auxin efflux and influx carriers regulates lateral root emergence (2013)
Journal Article

In Arabidopsis, lateral roots originate from pericycle cells deep within the primary root. New lateral root primordia (LRP) have to emerge through several overlaying tissues. Here, we report that auxin produced in new LRP is transported towards the o... Read More about Sequential induction of auxin efflux and influx carriers regulates lateral root emergence.

Mutations in genes involved in oestrous cycle associated expression of oestrus (2013)
Journal Article

Detection of oestrus is a key determinant of profitability of dairy herds, but oestrus is increasingly difficult to observe in the modern dairy cow, with shorter duration and less intense oestrus. Concurrent with the unfavourable correlation between... Read More about Mutations in genes involved in oestrous cycle associated expression of oestrus.

MultiSig: a new high-precision approach to the analysis of complex biomolecular systems (2013)
Journal Article

MultiSig is a newly developed mode of analysis of sedimentation equilibrium (SE) experiments in the analytical ultracentrifuge, having the capability of taking advantage of the remarkable precision (~0.1 % of signal) of the principal optical (fringe)...

Consequences of resource competition for sex allocation and discriminative behaviors in a hyperparasitoid wasp (2013)
Journal Article

Population-wide mating patterns can select for equal parental investment in both sexes, but limiting resources, such as mates or developmental substrates, can increase competition leading to biased sex ratios in favor of either sex. Such competition... Read More about Consequences of resource competition for sex allocation and discriminative behaviors in a hyperparasitoid wasp.

Meristematic cell proliferation and ribosome biogenesis are decoupled in diamagnetically levitated Arabidopsis seedlings (2013)
