Morphology, body size and behaviour of recently‐metamorphosed sea lampreys, Petromyzon marinus, from the lower River Severn, and their relevance to the onset of parasitic feeding (1994)
Journal Article

Several hundred recently‐metamorphosed Petromyzon marinus were caught during heavy freshwater discharge in the River Severn on the night of 30 November/1 December 1988. The total lengths of a subsample of 42 males and 82 females ranged from 155 to 21...

Comparisons between the fatty acid compositions of the muscle and ovary of the nonparasitic lamprey Lampetra planeri (bloch) and their counterparts in the anadromous and parasitic Lampetra fluviatilis (L.) (1993)
Journal Article

1. 1. The proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the triacylglycerols and phospholipids of muscle and ovary were far lower in adult Lampetra planeri than adult Lampetra fluviatilis. 2. 2. The most abundant fatty acids in the triacylglycerols we...

The Biosynthesis of Melanin‐Concentrating Hormone in Trout Kept Under Different Conditions of Background Colour and Stress, as Determined by an in vitro Method (1992)
Journal Article

The aim of this study was to develop a method to monitor the synthetic activity of neurons which secrete the neurohypophysial melanin‐concentrating hormone (MCH), a hormone implicated in two separate physiological roles in fish—pigmentary regulation...

The effect of osmotic pressure on oligomycin-sensitive ATPase activity and the liberation of Mg2+ from liver mitochondria of rats of various ages (1992)
Journal Article

The influence of osmotic pressure of the incubating medium (25-500 mM sucrose) on oligomycin--sensitive, 2,4-dinitrophenyl-stimulated ATP-ase-activity, Mg2+ release and swelling of the liver mitochondria in 1-, 3-, 12-, 24-months Wistar rats is, inve...

An immunological study of the secretory activity of neurons producing melanin-concentrating hormone in a teleost (1989)
Journal Article

The melanin-concentrating hormone is a general vertebrate neurosecretory peptide which, in bony fish, serves as a neurohypophysial hormone influencing pigmentary changes in response to background colour. Young carp were reared for six months in white... Read More about An immunological study of the secretory activity of neurons producing melanin-concentrating hormone in a teleost.

Immunocytochemical demonstration of melanin-concentrating hormone and proopiomelanocortin-like products in the brain of the trout and carp (1989)
Journal Article

Immunocytochemistry on frozen sections revealed that in both the trout and the carp, parvocellular neurones located in the medial basal hypothalamus (medial nucleus lateralis tuberis) were immunostained by antisera against three molecules known to be...

Influence of drying-rewetting events on the response of soil microbial functions to biochar (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Biochar application has been shown to positively affect soil microbial functions such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing water/nutrient availability and increasing crop yields in tropical regions (Lehmann & Joseph, 2009). Understanding... Read More about Influence of drying-rewetting events on the response of soil microbial functions to biochar.

Recommendations, evaluation and validation of a semi-automated, fluorescent-based scoring protocol for micronucleus testing in human cells (2014)
Journal Article

Micronucleus (MN) induction is an established cytogenetic end point for evaluating structural and numerical chromosomal alterations in genotoxicity testing. A semi-automated scoring protocol for the assessment of MN preparations from human cell lines...

Developmental, morphological and physiological effects of chronic low doses of ionising radiation on plants on earth and in space (2019)
Thesis

Conclusions in the current literature are essentially unanimous regarding what is known about the effects of ionising radiation on plants. It is agreed that acute high-dose effects (primarily from laboratory tests) are well-documented and understood...

Alcohol and micronutrient-induced regulation of Aβ load and Tau hyperphosphorylation through modulation of mitochondrial fusion/fission pathways (2020)
Thesis

Introduction and aims: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has for decades been associated with increased accumulation of brain amyloid β peptides (Aβ) and phosphorylated tau. Unfortunately, targeted therapy to Aβ in particular has not been successful resulting...

New approaches to the detection of echinocandin resistance in Candida glabrata in clinical diagnostic laboratories (2019)
Thesis

Candidaemia is widely reported as the fourth most common form of bloodstream infection worldwide. Reports of cases of candidaemia whilst patients are in receipt of antifungal therapy are increasing, and this is especially relevant as prescribing prac...
