Journal Article
Ivell, R., & Anand-Ivell, R. (2003). Understanding relaxin in the female reproductive system. Current Medicinal Chemistry Immunology Endocrine and Metabolic Agents, 5(5), 383-389. https://doi.org/10.2174/156801305774322394

Recent advances in our understanding of the hormone relaxin, and the discovery of its specific receptor LGR7, have provided a series of new tools and paradigms, with which to re-examine many aspects of female reproductive physiology classically assoc...

Hypothalamic Actions of Neuromedin U (2002)
Journal Article
Wren, A. M., Small, C. J., Abbott, C. R., Jethwa, P. H., Kennedy, A. R., Murphy, K. G., …Bloom, S. R. (2002). Hypothalamic Actions of Neuromedin U. Endocrinology, 143(11), 4227-4234. https://doi.org/10.1210/en.2002-220308

The central nervous system and gut peptide neuromedin U (NMU) inhibits feeding after intracerebroventricular injection. This study explored the hypothalamic actions of NMU on feeding and the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis. Intraparaventricular nu... Read More about Hypothalamic Actions of Neuromedin U.

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
Dhillo, W. S., Small, C. J., Stanley, S. A., Jethwa, P. H., Seal, L. J., Murphy, K. G., …Bloom, S. R. (2002). Hypothalamic Interactions Between Neuropeptide Y, Agouti-Related Protein, Cocaine- and Amphetamine-Regulated Transcript and Alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone In Vitro in Male Rats. Journal of Neuroendocrinology, 14(9), 725-730. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-2826.2002.00832.x

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
Tye, A. M., Young, S. D., Crout, N. M., Zhang, H., Preston, S., Bailey, E. H., …Kilham, K. (2002). Predicting arsenic solubility in contaminated soils using isotopic dilution techniques. Environmental Science and Technology, 36(5), 982-988. https://doi.org/10.1021/es0101633

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...
