Novel expression and regulation of voltage-dependent potassium (KV7) channels in placentae from women with preeclampsia (2011)
Journal Article
Mistry, H. D., McCallum, L. A., Kurlak, L. O., Greenwood, I. A., Broughton Pipkin, F., & Tribe, R. M. (2011). Novel expression and regulation of voltage-dependent potassium (KV7) channels in placentae from women with preeclampsia. Hypertension, 58, https://doi.org/10.1161/HYPERTENSIONAHA.111.173740

Preeclampsia is associated with structural/functional alterations in placental and maternal vasculature. KV7 (voltage-dependant potassium channels encoded by KCNQ1-5 genes) have been detected in several types of blood vessels where they promote vascu...

Histone deacetylase inhibition as an anticancer telomerase-targeting strategy (2011)
Journal Article
Rahman, R., & Grundy, R. (2011). Histone deacetylase inhibition as an anticancer telomerase-targeting strategy. International Journal of Cancer, 129(12), 2765-2774. doi:10.1002/ijc.26241

Aberrant epigenetic regulation of gene expression contributes to tumor initiation and progression. Studies from a plethora of hematologic and solid tumors support the use of histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) as potent anticancer agents. The mech...

The importance of antioxidant micronutrients and vitamins in pregnancy (2011)
Journal Article
Mistry, H. D., & Williams, P. J. (2011). The importance of antioxidant micronutrients and vitamins in pregnancy. Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, 2011, https://doi.org/10.1155/2011/841749

Pregnancy places increased demands on the mother to provide not only adequate nutrition to support her own health but also to enable the growth and development of the conceptus. A key role of a number of micronutrients and vitamins is their function... Read More about The importance of antioxidant micronutrients and vitamins in pregnancy.

Selenium in reproduction (2011)
Journal Article
Mistry, H. D., Broughton Pipkin, F., Redman, C. W., & Poston, L. (2012). Selenium in reproduction. American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 206(1), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ajog.2011.07.034

Selenium is an essential trace element of importance to human biology and health. Increasing evidence suggests that this mineral plays an important role in normal growth and reproduction in animals and humans, and selenium supplementation is now reco... Read More about Selenium in reproduction.

The role of oxidative stress and antioxidant supplementation in pregnancy disorders (2011)
Journal Article
Poston, L., Igosheva, N., Mistry, H. D., Seed, P. T., Shennan, A. H., Rana, S., …Chappell, L. C. (2011). The role of oxidative stress and antioxidant supplementation in pregnancy disorders. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 94(6Suppl), Article 1980S-1985S. https://doi.org/10.3945/ajcn.110.001156

Oxidative stress is widely implicated in failed reproductive performance including infertility, miscarriage, diabetes-related congenital malformations and preeclampsia. Maternal obesity is a strong risk factor for preeclampsia, and recently, in an an... Read More about The role of oxidative stress and antioxidant supplementation in pregnancy disorders.

Homocysteine and folate plasma concentrations in mother and baby at delivery after pre-eclamptic or normotensive pregnancy: influence of parity (2011)
Journal Article
Mistry, H. D., Mather, J., Ramsay, M. M., Kurlak, L. O., Symonds, M. E., & Broughton Pipkin, F. (2011). Homocysteine and folate plasma concentrations in mother and baby at delivery after pre-eclamptic or normotensive pregnancy: influence of parity. Pregnancy Hypertension, 1(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.preghy.2011.01.006

Pre-eclampsia affects between 2-7% of all pregnant women, contributing to perinatal and maternal morbidity. There are conflicting data on plasma homocysteine and folate in pre-eclampsia, and little about fetal concentrations. Objectives: Firstly, t...
