Effects of the long-term feeding of diets enriched with inorganic phosphorus on the adult feline kidney and phosphorus metabolism (2019)
Journal Article
Alexander, J., Stockman, J., Atwal, J., Butterwick, R., Colyer, A., Elliott, D., Gilham, M., Morris, P., Staunton, R., Renfrew, H., Elliott, J., & Watson, P. (2019). Effects of the long-term feeding of diets enriched with inorganic phosphorus on the adult feline kidney and phosphorus metabolism. British Journal of Nutrition, 21, 1-21. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0007114518002751

Renal disease has a high incidence in cats, and some evidence implicates dietary P as well. To investigate this further, two studies in healthy adult cats were conducted. Study 1 (36 weeks) included forty-eight cats, stratified to control or test die...

Survival after diagnosis of hypertension in cats attending primary care practice in the UK (2018)
Journal Article
Chang, Y. M., Brodbelt, D. C., Elliott, J., & Conroy, M. C. (2018). Survival after diagnosis of hypertension in cats attending primary care practice in the UK. Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 32(6), 1846-1855. https://doi.org/10.1111/jvim.15307

Background: Hypertension is common in older cats. There is limited evidence for predictors of
survival after diagnosis.
Hypothesis/Objectives: Investigate blood pressure assessment (BPA) and hypertension diagnosis
in cats attending UK primary care... Read More about Survival after diagnosis of hypertension in cats attending primary care practice in the UK.

The cat as a naturally occurring model of renal interstitial fibrosis: Characterisation of primary feline proximal tubular epithelial cells and comparative pro-fibrotic effects of TGF-ß1 (2018)
Journal Article
Lawson, J. S., Liu, H.-H., Syme, H. M., Purcell, R., Wheeler-Jones, C. P. D., & Elliott, J. (2018). The cat as a naturally occurring model of renal interstitial fibrosis: Characterisation of primary feline proximal tubular epithelial cells and comparative pro-fibrotic effects of TGF-ß1. PLoS ONE, 13(8), e0202577. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0202577

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common in both geriatric cats and aging humans, and is pathologically characterised by chronic tubulointerstitial inflammation and fibrosis in both species. Cats with CKD may represent a spontaneously occurring, non-ro...

Cell specific microvesicles vary with season and disease predisposition in healthy and previously laminitic ponies (2018)
Journal Article
Finding, E. J. T., Lawson, C., Elliott, J., Harris, P. A., & Menzies-Gow, N. J. (2018). Cell specific microvesicles vary with season and disease predisposition in healthy and previously laminitic ponies. Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetimm.2018.06.001

Microvesicles are small (up to 1 μm) vesicles found in plasma and other bodily fluids. They are recognised as part of the normal system of inter-cellular communication but altered numbers are also used as biomarkers of disease. Microvesicles have not...

Seasonal and dietary influences on adipose tissue and systemic gene expression in control and previously laminitic ponies (2018)
Journal Article
Timpson, A., De Mestre, A. M., Elliott, J., Harris, P. A., Cheng, Z. R., Mirczuk, S. M., Callan, L., Rainbow, L., & Menzies-Gow, N. J. (2018). Seasonal and dietary influences on adipose tissue and systemic gene expression in control and previously laminitic ponies. Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jevs.2018.06.009

The aims of the study were to determine whether adipose tissue global gene expression (i) differs between never laminitic (NL) and previously laminitic (PL) ponies; (ii) is influenced by season and/or a diet designed to simulate spring grass and (iii...

Background:
Hypercalcemia is commonly associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in cats.

Objectives:
To explore the calcitonin response to naturally occurring ionized hypercalcemia in cats with azotemic CKD, and to assess the relationship of... Read More about Calcitonin Response to Naturally Occurring Ionized Hypercalcemia in Cats with Chronic Kidney Disease.
