Characterization of agonist-induced endothelium-dependent vasodilatory responses in the vascular bed of the equine digit
Journal Article
Berhane, Y., Bailey, S. R., Putignano, C., & Elliott, J. Characterization of agonist-induced endothelium-dependent vasodilatory responses in the vascular bed of the equine digit. Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 31(1), 1-8. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2885.2007.00912.x

The role of endothelium-derived relaxing factors was studied in the regulation of vascular responses in the Krebs perfused equine isolated digit. Perfusion pressure was recorded in response to bolus doses of 5-hydroxytryptamine (6 nmol) alone or co-a...

Offspring from mothers fed a 'junk food' diet in pregnancy and lactation exhibit exacerbated adiposity that is more pronounced in females
Journal Article
Bayol, S. A. M., Simbi, B. H., Bertrand, J. A., & Stickland, N. C. Offspring from mothers fed a 'junk food' diet in pregnancy and lactation exhibit exacerbated adiposity that is more pronounced in females. Journal of Physiology, 586(13), 3219-3230. https://doi.org/10.1113/jphysiol.2008.153817

We have shown previously that a maternal junk food diet during pregnancy and lactation plays a role in predisposing offspring to obesity. Here we show that rat offspring born to mothers fed the same junk food diet rich in fat, sugar and salt develop...

Hyaluronan synthesis and degradation in cartilage and bone
Journal Article
Bastow, E. R., Byers, S., Golub, S. B., Clarkin, C. E., Pitsillides, A. A., & Fosang, A. J. Hyaluronan synthesis and degradation in cartilage and bone. Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 65(3), 395-413. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00018-007-7360-z

Hyaluronan (HA) is a large but simple glycosaminoglycan composed of repeating D-glucuronic acid, beta 1-3 linked to N-acetyl-D-glucosamine beta 1-4, found in body fluids and tissues, in both intra- and extracellular compartments. Despite its structur... Read More about Hyaluronan synthesis and degradation in cartilage and bone.

Coelomic expression of a novel bone morphogenetic protein in regenerating arms of the brittle star Amphiura filiformis
Journal Article
Bannister, R., McGonnell, I. M., Graham, A., Thorndyke, M. C., & Beesley, P. W. Coelomic expression of a novel bone morphogenetic protein in regenerating arms of the brittle star Amphiura filiformis. Development Genes and Evolution, 218(1), 33-38. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00427-007-0193-9

The bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a family of signalling molecules involved in numerous developmental processes including cell fate determination in embryonic ectoderm of vertebrate and invertebrate species. Recently, published evidence has... Read More about Coelomic expression of a novel bone morphogenetic protein in regenerating arms of the brittle star Amphiura filiformis.

Hypertension and insulin resistance in a mixed-breed population of ponies predisposed to laminitis
Journal Article
Bailey, S. R., Habershon-Butcher, J. L., Ransom, K. J., Elliott, J., & Menzies-Gow, N. J. Hypertension and insulin resistance in a mixed-breed population of ponies predisposed to laminitis. American Journal of Veterinary Research, 69(1), 122-129. https://doi.org/10.2460/ajvr.69.1.122

Objective - To determine the metabolic phenotype of a group of laminitis-prone ponies when at pasture in summer, compared with when at pasture in winter. Animals - 40 ponies of various breeds predisposed to recurrent pasture-associated laminitis and...
