Evidence that a maternal "junk food" diet during pregnancy and lactation can reduce muscle force in offspring
Journal Article
Bayol, S. A. M., Macharia, R. G., Farrington, S. J., Simbi, B. H., & Stickland, N. C. Evidence that a maternal "junk food" diet during pregnancy and lactation can reduce muscle force in offspring. European Journal of Nutrition, 48(1), 62-65. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00394-008-0760-5

Obesity is a multi-factorial condition generally attributed to an unbalanced diet and lack of exercise. Recent evidence suggests that maternal malnutrition during pregnancy and lactation can also contribute to the development of obesity in offspring....

Effect of management factors and blood metabolites during the rearing period on growth in dairy heifers on UK farms
Journal Article
Brickell, J. S., McGowan, M. M., & Wathes, D. C. Effect of management factors and blood metabolites during the rearing period on growth in dairy heifers on UK farms. Domestic Animal Endocrinology, 36(2), 67-81. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.domaniend.2008.10.005

Growth rates during rearing affect the age and body weight (BW) of replacement heifers at first calving. Diet and disease can affect growth via altered metabolic hormone concentrations, but are difficult to monitor accurately on commercial farms. Thi...

Regulation of platelet activating factor-induced equine platelet activation by intracellular kinases
Journal Article
Brooks, A. C., Menzies-Gow, N. J., Wheeler-Jones, C. P. D., Bailey, S. R., Elliott, J., & Cunningham, F. M. Regulation of platelet activating factor-induced equine platelet activation by intracellular kinases. Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 32(2), 189-196. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2885.2008.01020.x

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can activate equine platelets directly or indirectly, via leukocyte-derived platelet activating factor (PAF). Thromboxane (Tx) production by LPS-stimulated equine platelets requires p38 MAPK and this kinase has been suggested...
