Activin signals via SMAD2/3 between germ and somatic cells in the human fetal ovary and regulates kit ligand expression (2008)
Journal Article
Coutts, S. M., Childs, A. J., Fulton, N., Collins, C., Bayne, R. A. L., McNeilly, A. S., & Anderson, R. A. (2008). Activin signals via SMAD2/3 between germ and somatic cells in the human fetal ovary and regulates kit ligand expression. Developmental Biology, 314(1), 189-199. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ydbio.2007.11.026

Ovarian germ cell survival is dependent upon the formation of primordial follicles, which occurs during fetal life in the human. Activin contributes to germ cell proliferation and survival at this time. SMADs2 and 3 are central elements in the activi...

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....

Descriptive epidemiology of fracture, tendon and suspensory ligament injuries in National Hunt racehorses in training
Journal Article
Ely, E. R., Avella, C. S., Price, J. S., Smith, R. K. W., Wood, J. L. N., & Verheyen, K. L. P. Descriptive epidemiology of fracture, tendon and suspensory ligament injuries in National Hunt racehorses in training. Equine Veterinary Journal, 41(4), 372-378. https://doi.org/10.2746/042516409x371224

Reasons for performing study: While fractures and tendon injuries are known to be important diseases in National Hunt (NH) racehorses during racing, there are no accurate estimates of their incidence in NH training yards. Objectives: To estimate the... Read More about Descriptive epidemiology of fracture, tendon and suspensory ligament injuries in National Hunt racehorses in training.

Differential inhibition of cyclooxygenase isoenzymes in the cat by the NSAID robenacoxib
Journal Article
Giraudel, J. M., Toutain, P. L., King, J. N., & Lees, P. Differential inhibition of cyclooxygenase isoenzymes in the cat by the NSAID robenacoxib. Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 32(1), 31-40. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2885.2008.01031.x

Robenacoxib is a new nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) developed for use in companion animal medicine. The objectives of this study were: to quantify the inhibitory actions of robenacoxib on cyclooxygenase (COX) isoenzymes in feline whole b...
