Effect of Mouth Rinsing and Ingestion of Carbohydrate Solutions on Mood and Perceptual Responses During Exercise
(BioMed Central, 2017)Background: The aim of this study was to investigate whether mouth rinsing or ingesting carbohydrate (CHO) solutions impact on perceptual responses during exercise. Methods: Nine moderately trained male cyclists underwent ... -
The Natural Compound Fucoidan From New Zealand Undaria Pinnatifida Synergizes With the ERBB Inhibitor Lapatinib Enhancing Melanoma Growth Inhibition
(Impact Journals, 2017)Melanoma remains one of the most aggressive and therapy-resistant cancers. Finding new treatments to improve patient outcomes is an ongoing effort. We previously demonstrated that melanoma relies on the activation of ERBB ... -
Practical Fertilization Procedure and Embryonic Development of the New Zealand Geoduck Clam (Panopea Zelandica)
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom 2016, 2016)Copyright © Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom 2016Cultivation of the geoduck Panopea zelandica (Quoy & Gaimard, 1835) requires knowledge on embryonic development to produce spat in hatcheries. This study ... -
Hydrolysis by Alcalase Improves Hypoallergenic Properties of Goat Milk Protein
(Korean Society for Food Science of Animal Resources, 2016)Goat milk is highly nutritious and is consumed in many countries, but the development of functional foods from goat milk has been slow compared to that for other types of milk. The aim of this study was to develop a goat ... -
Effect of Neuroactive Compounds on Larval Metamorphosis of New Zealand Geoduck (Panopea Zelandica)
(John Wiley & Sons, 2016)We present here the first laboratory study on the effects of pharmacologically active compounds on the larval metamorphosis of the New Zealand geoduck, Panopea zelandica (Quoy and Gaimard, 1835). Two batches of competent ... -
Carbohydrate Mouth Rinsing Has No Effect on Power Output During Cycling in a Glycogen-reduced State
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: The effect of mouth rinsing with a carbohydrate (CHO) solution on exercise performance is inconclusive with no benefits observed in the fed state. This study examined the effect of CHO mouth rinse or CHO ... -
Metabolomic Strategies for Aquaculture Research: A Primer
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)Metabolomics is a fast-evolving field that provides qualitative and quantitative analyses of metabolites within cells, tissues or biofluids. Recent applications of metabolomics approaches in aquaculture research have ... -
Showcasing Metabolomic Applications in Aquaculture: A Review
(John Wiley & Sons, 2016)Aquaculture production is currently challenged to meet the growing demands for seafood protein throughout the world. To achieve this growth in an efficient, safe and sustainable manner, novel tools and applications will ... -
Multidrug Resistance-associated Protein 2 (MRP2) mediated transport of Oxaliplatin-derived platinum in membrane vesicles
(PLOS One, 2015)The platinum-based anticancer drug oxaliplatin is important clinically in cancer treatment. However, the role of multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2) in controlling oxaliplatin membrane transport, in vivo ... -
Retinal development and ommin pigment in the cranchiid squid Teuthowenia pellucida (Cephalopoda: Oegopsida)
(PLOS One, 2015)The cranchiid Teuthowenia pellucida, like many deep-sea squid species, possesses large eyes that maximise light sensitivity in a nearly aphotic environment. To assess ontogenetic changes in the visual system, we conducted ... -
Putative Involvement of Adrenergic Receptors in Regulation of Mussel (Perna Canaliculus) Larval Settlement
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2015)Abstract: Settlement responses were investigated for mussel (Perna canaliculus) larvae after exposure to catecholamines and their precursor metabolites. Settlement and mortality assays were conducted in Petri plates with ... -
Metabolic Profiling of Mussel Larvae: Effect of Handling and Culture Conditions
(Springer, 2015)Gas chromatography mass spectroscopy was applied to characterize the metabolic profiles of hatchery-reared mussel (Perna canaliculus) larvae before and after a prolonged handling and water exchange process, and to investigate ... -
Identification of Candidate Biomarkers for Quality Assessment of Hatchery-reared Mussel Larvae Via GC/MS-based Metabolomics
(Taylor and Francis Ltd, 2015)To ensure environmental and economic sustainability of future aquaculture growth, large-scale hatchery production of mollusc larvae is required. However, variation in larval quality currently limits potential maximum yields. ... -
Rapid biofunctionalization of magnetic beads with function-spacer-lipid constructs
(eBook - Sepmag.eu, 2014)KODE™ Technology is based on novel water-dispersible self-assembling molecules, called a functionspacer- lipids or KODE™ constructs (Figure 1) that are able to coat virtually any biological or non-biological surface with ... -
The polyamine catabolic enzyme SAT1 modulates tumorigenesis and radiation response in GBM
(American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), 2014)Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and severe form of brain cancer. The median survival time of patients is approximately 12 months due to poor responses to surgery and chemoradiation. To understand the ... -
Thin terrestrial sediment deposits on intertidal sandflats: effects on pore-water solutes and juvenile bivalve burial behaviour
(EGU Journals, 2014)Nearshore zones experience increased sedimentation due to coastal development and enhanced loads of fine terrestrial sediment (hereafter, TS) in river waters. Deposition of TS can alter seabed biogeochemical processes but ... -
Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of fermented sheepmeat sausage
