Androgen-dependent Sertoli cell proliferation as a target for endocrine disruptors relevant to human male reproductive health (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Scott, H., Hallmark, N., Saunders, P., Verhoeven, G., De Gendt, K., Hutchison, G., & Sharpe, R. Androgen-dependent Sertoli cell proliferation as a target for endocrine disruptors relevant to human male reproductive health. Presented at 8th European Congress of Endocrinology incorporating the British Endocrine Societies, Glasgow, UK

Smoking by women during pregnancy can result in a 30–48% reduction in sperm count and testis size in the exposed offspring in adulthood, probably because of a decrease in the number of Sertoli cells. Until recently Sertoli cell proliferation was thou... Read More about Androgen-dependent Sertoli cell proliferation as a target for endocrine disruptors relevant to human male reproductive health.

The effect of refurbishing a UK steel plant on PM10 metal composition and ability to induce inflammation (2005)
Journal Article
Hutchison, G. R., Brown, D. M., Hibbs, L. R., Heal, M. R., Donaldson, K., Maynard, R. L., Monaghan, M., Nicholl, A., & Stone, V. (2005). The effect of refurbishing a UK steel plant on PM10 metal composition and ability to induce inflammation. Respiratory Research, 6(1), 43. https://doi.org/10.1186/1465-9921-6-43

In the year 2000 Corus closed its steel plant operations in Redcar, NE of England temporarily for refurbishment of its blast furnace. This study investigates the impact of the closure on the chemical composition and biological activity of PM10 collec...

The influence of particle composition and size on in vitro and in vivo biological models. (2003)
Report
Lightbody, J., Hutchison, G. R., Donaldson, K., & Stone, V. (2003). The influence of particle composition and size on in vitro and in vivo biological models

Particulate air pollution has been consistently linked with an increase in morbidity and mortality due to respiratory complications and cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to investigate which components of PM10 are important in driving...
