Becoming a phenotypic male is ultimately determined by androgen-induced masculinization. Disorders of fetal masculinization, resulting in hypospadias or cryptorchidism, are common, but their cause remains unclear. Together with the adult-onset disord...

Relationship between Androgen Action in the “Male Programming Window,” Fetal Sertoli Cell Number, and Adult Testis Size in the Rat (2008)
Journal Article

Relationship between Androgen Action in the “Male Programming Window,” Fetal Sertoli Cell Number, and Adult Testis Size in the Rat. Endocrinology, 149, 5280-5287. https://doi.org/10.1210/en.2008-0413

Fetal androgen action is an important determinant of Sertoli cell (SC) number at birth. Androgens “program” reproductive tract development in rats between embryonic d (e) 15.5 and e17.5 (“male programming window”), and this is reflected for life by a...

Peritoneal surface epithelial (PSE) cells participate in adhesion formation following inflammatory injury yet adjacent ovarian SE (OSE) cells regenerate without scarification after ovulation. OSE cells show inflammation-associated expression of 11β h... Read More about Anti-inflammatory steroid signalling in the human peritoneum.

Shoulder and hip roll changes during 200-m front crawl swimming (2008)
Journal Article

Purpose: To determine accurately the magnitude and changes in shoulder roll (SR) and hip roll (HR) throughout a 200m maximum front crawl swim and whether SR and HR were associated with swimming velocity (V). Bilateral roll asymmetries and timing diff... Read More about Shoulder and hip roll changes during 200-m front crawl swimming.

In this study, we assessed the performance of trained senior (n = 6) and veteran (n = 6) cyclists (mean age 28 years, s = 3 and 57 years, s = 4 respectively). Each competitor completed two cycling tests, a ramped peak aerobic test and an indoor 16.1-... Read More about Effect of age on 16.1km time trial performance..
