Journal Article
White, D. A., Fisk, I. D., & Gray, D. A. (2006). Characterisation of oat (Avena sativa L.) oil bodies and intrinsically associated E-vitamers. Journal of Cereal Science, 43(2), 244-249. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcs.2005.10.002

Transmission electron microscopy of sections of oat (Avena sativa L.) grain suggested that the highest concentrations oil bodies were in the aleurone and germ rather than the starchy endosperm. Oil bodies recovered from homogenized tissues by centrif... Read More about Characterisation of oat (Avena sativa L.) oil bodies and intrinsically associated E-vitamers.

Bacteriophage therapy to reduce Campylobacter jejuni colonization of broiler chickens (2005)
Journal Article
Loc Carrillo, C., Atterbury, R. J., El-Shibiny, A., Connerton, P. L., Dillon, E., Scott, A., & Connerton, I. F. (2005). Bacteriophage therapy to reduce Campylobacter jejuni colonization of broiler chickens. Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 71(11), https://doi.org/10.1128/AEM.71.11.6554-6563.2005

Colonization of broiler chickens by the enteric pathogen Campylobacter jejuni is widespread and difficult to prevent. Bacteriophage therapy is one possible means by which this colonization could be controlled, thus limiting the entry of campylobacter...

Ontogeny of factors associated with proliferation and differentiation of muscle in the ovine fetus (2005)
Journal Article
Fahey, A. J., Brameld, J. M., Parr, T., & Buttery, P. J. (2005). Ontogeny of factors associated with proliferation and differentiation of muscle in the ovine fetus. Journal of Animal Science, 83(10), 2330-2338

The number of muscle fibers within a muscle has been found to be of high importance for the growth potential of an animal, and this number is set during fetal development. The objective of this study was to identify the ontogeny of muscle cell differ... Read More about Ontogeny of factors associated with proliferation and differentiation of muscle in the ovine fetus.

Hypothalamic cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) and agouti-related protein (AgRP) neurons coexpress the NOP1 receptor and nociceptin alters CART and AgRP release (2005)
Journal Article
Bewick, G. A., Dhillo, W. S., Darch, S. J., Murphy, K. G., Gardiner, J. V., Jethwa, P. H., …Bloom, S. R. (2005). Hypothalamic cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) and agouti-related protein (AgRP) neurons coexpress the NOP1 receptor and nociceptin alters CART and AgRP release. Endocrinology, 146(8), 3526-3534. https://doi.org/10.1210/en.2004-1659

Nociceptin or orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) and its receptor NOP1 are expressed in hypothalamic nuclei involved in energy homeostasis. N/OFQ administered by intracerebroventricular or arcuate nucleus (ARC) injection increases food intake in satiated rats. The...

Neuromedin U has a physiological role in the regulation of food intake and partially mediates the effects of leptin (2005)
Journal Article
Jethwa, P. H., Small, C. J., Smith, K. L., Seth, A., Darch, S. J., Abbott, C. R., …Bloom, S. R. (2005). Neuromedin U has a physiological role in the regulation of food intake and partially mediates the effects of leptin. AJP - Endocrinology and Metabolism, 289(2), E301-E305. https://doi.org/10.1152/ajpendo.00404.2004

Intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of Neuromedin U (NMU), a hypothalamic neuropeptide, or leptin, an adipostat hormone released from adipose tissue, reduces food intake and increases energy expenditure. Leptin stimulates the release of NMU... Read More about Neuromedin U has a physiological role in the regulation of food intake and partially mediates the effects of leptin.

Insulin-like factor 3 (Insl3) is a major new product of the Leydig cells in all mammalian species so far examined. The rat Insl3 gene is encoded by two exons in close juxtaposition to the Jak3 gene. Using RT-PCR analysis we now show that in the rat t... Read More about Constitutive regulation of the Insl3 gene in rat Leydig cells.
