Individual responsiveness to exercise-induced fat loss is associated with change in resting substrate utilization (2009)
Journal Article
Barwell, N. D., Malkova, D., Leggate, M., & Gill, J. M. R. (2009). Individual responsiveness to exercise-induced fat loss is associated with change in resting substrate utilization. Metabolism, 58(9), 1320-1328. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.metabol.2009.04.016

Fat loss in response to exercise training varies between individuals, even when differences in compliance to the exercise program are accounted for. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether individual variation in change in fasting respir...

Response of intertidal macrofauna to multiple disturbance types and intensities – An experimental approach (2009)
Journal Article
Whomersley, P., Huxham, M., Bolam, S., Schratzberger, M., Augley, J., & Ridland, D. (2010). Response of intertidal macrofauna to multiple disturbance types and intensities – An experimental approach. Marine Environmental Research, 69(5), 297-308. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marenvres.2009.12.001

Two of the best-supported theories which describe the effects of disturbance within marine benthic habitats are the organic enrichment ‘Successional Model’ and the ‘Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis’. Underlying these models, biological mechanisms... Read More about Response of intertidal macrofauna to multiple disturbance types and intensities – An experimental approach.

Death‐associated protein kinase (DAPK) and signal transduction: blebbing in programmed cell death. (2009)
Journal Article

Death-associated protein kinase (DAPK) is a stress-regulated protein kinase that mediates a range of processes, including signal-induced cell death and autophagy. Although the kinase domain of DAPK has a range of substrates that mediate its signallin...

Physical Activity Levels of Women Attending Glasgow Breast Clinics (2009)
Journal Article
Tan, A., Pavlidou, E., Ogston, K., Doughty, J., Wilson, C., Campbell, A., & Tovey, S. (2009). Physical Activity Levels of Women Attending Glasgow Breast Clinics. Cancer Research, 69(24 Supplement), 2066-2066. https://doi.org/10.1158/0008-5472.sabcs-09-2066

Introduction
Epidemiological studies suggest that moderate intensity recreational physical activity (PA) improves breast cancer survival. We aimed to assess the current levels of PA in breast cancer survivors and a cohort of women with benign diseas... Read More about Physical Activity Levels of Women Attending Glasgow Breast Clinics.

Molecular systematics of marine gregarines (Apicomplexa) from North-eastern Pacific polychaetes and nemerteans, with descriptions of three novel species: Lecudina phyllochaetopteri sp. nov., Difficilina tubulani sp. nov. and Difficilina paranemertis sp. nov. (2009)
Journal Article

Molecular systematics of marine gregarines (Apicomplexa) from North-eastern Pacific polychaetes and nemerteans, with descriptions of three novel species: Lecudina phyllochaetopteri sp. nov., Difficilina tubulani sp. nov. and Difficilina paranemertis sp. nov. International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 60(11), 2681-2690. https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.016436-0

Most eugregarine apicomplexans infecting the intestines of marine invertebrates have been described within the family Lecudinidae and the type genus Lecudina. The diversity of these parasites is vast and poorly understood and only a tiny number of sp...

Dietary restriction delays aging, but not neuronal dysfunction, in Drosophila models of Alzheimer's disease (2009)
Journal Article
Kerr, F., Augustin, H., Piper, M. D. W., Gandy, C., Allen, M. J., Lovestone, S., & Partridge, L. (2011). Dietary restriction delays aging, but not neuronal dysfunction, in Drosophila models of Alzheimer's disease. Neurobiology of Aging, 32(11), 1977-1989. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2009.10.015

Dietary restriction (DR) extends lifespan in diverse organisms and, in animal and cellular models, can delay a range of aging-related diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD). A better understanding of the mechanisms mediating these interactions,... Read More about Dietary restriction delays aging, but not neuronal dysfunction, in Drosophila models of Alzheimer's disease.

Impact of ozone-pollution and heat on athletic performance and pulmonary responses (2009)
Thesis
Gomes, E. C. Impact of ozone-pollution and heat on athletic performance and pulmonary responses. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3591

Epidemiological studies have reported that ozone-pollution has a negative impact on human health. This pollutant is associated with high temperatures and is expected to continue to rise with the predicted global warming. People and athletes that exer...
