Hypothalamic Interactions Between Neuropeptide Y, Agouti-Related Protein, Cocaine- and Amphetamine-Regulated Transcript and Alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone In Vitro in Male Rats (2002)
Journal Article

A number of neuropeptides implicated in the hypothalamic regulation of appetite are synthesized in the arcuate nucleus (Arc). Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti-related protein (Agrp) are orexigenic. The pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) product alpha-melanoc...

Predicting arsenic solubility in contaminated soils using isotopic dilution techniques (2002)
Journal Article

An isotopic dilution assay was developed to measure radiolabile As concentration in a diverse range of soils (pH 3.30-7.62; % C = 1.00-6.55). Soils amended with 50 mg of As kg-1 (as Na2HAsO4·7H2O) were incubated for over 800 d in an aerated "microcos...

Maternal nutrition alters the expression of insulin-like growth factors in fetal sheep liver and skeletal muscle (2000)
Journal Article

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

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...

Glucose and amino acids interact with hormones to control expression of insulin-like growth factor-I and growth hormone receptor mRNA in cultured pig hepatocytes (1999)
Journal Article

Nutrients and hormones are major determinants of animal growth, but the mechanisms of how nutrients influence the growth process are still unclear. A primary pig hepatocyte culture system was used to investigate possible direct effects of glucose and...

The growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor (GH-IGF) axis is involved in the control of postnatal growth in all animals studied to date. At birth, blood levels of IGF-1 are low, although levels of GH are high. Thus a switching occurs during the pos...
