The heavy metals lead and cadmium are cytotoxic to human bone osteoblasts via induction of redox stress (2019)
Journal Article
Al-Ghafari, A., Elmorsy, E., Fikry, E., Alrowaili, M., & Carter, W. G. (2019). The heavy metals lead and cadmium are cytotoxic to human bone osteoblasts via induction of redox stress. PLoS ONE, 14(11), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0225341

The heavy metals (HMs) lead and cadmium are persistent environmental pollutants capable of inducing ill-health in exposed individuals. One of the primary sites of accumulation and potential damage from HMs is bone, and we therefore examined the acute...

A randomized crossover trial assessing the effects of acute exercise on appetite, circulating ghrelin concentrations, and butyrylcholinesterase activity in normal-weight males with variants of the obesity-linked FTO rs9939609 polymorphism (2019)
Journal Article
Jones, J., Dorling, J. L., Clayton, D. J., King, J. A., Carter, W. G., Thackray, A. E., …Stensel, D. J. (2019). A randomized crossover trial assessing the effects of acute exercise on appetite, circulating ghrelin concentrations, and butyrylcholinesterase activity in normal-weight males with variants of the obesity-linked FTO rs9939609 polymorphism. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 110(5), 1055-1066. https://doi.org/10.1093/ajcn/nqz188

Copyright © American Society for Nutrition 2019. BACKGROUND: The fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) rs9939609 A-allele is associated with higher acyl-ghrelin (AG) concentrations, higher energy intake, and obesity, although exercise may mitiga...

An investigation of potential sources of nutraceuticals from the Niger Delta areas, Nigeria for attenuating oxidative stress (2019)
Journal Article
Nwidu, L. L., Alikwe, P. C. N., Elmorsy, E., & Carter, W. G. (2019). An investigation of potential sources of nutraceuticals from the Niger Delta areas, Nigeria for attenuating oxidative stress. Medicines, 6(1), Article 15. https://doi.org/10.3390/medicines6010015

Background: Diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and medicinal plants possess antioxidants potentially capable of mitigating cellular oxidative stress. This study investigated the antioxidant, anti-acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and total phenolic and fla...
