Ultrafine particles cause cytoskeletal dysfunctions in macrophages: role of intracellular calcium. (2005)
Journal Article
Moller, W., Brown, D. M., Kreyling, L., & Stone, V. (2005). Ultrafine particles cause cytoskeletal dysfunctions in macrophages: role of intracellular calcium. Particle and fibre toxicology, 2, 7. https://doi.org/10.1186/1743-8977-2-7

Background
Particulate air pollution is reported to cause adverse health effects in susceptible individuals. Since most of these particles are derived form combustion processes, the primary composition product is carbon with a very small diameter (u...

Consequences of the Evolution of the GABAA Receptor Gene Family (2005)
Journal Article
Darlison, M. G., Pahal, I., & Thode, C. (2005). Consequences of the Evolution of the GABAA Receptor Gene Family. Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology, 25(3-4), 607-624. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10571-005-4004-4

1. This paper reviews the evolution of the family of genes present in mammals and other vertebrates that encode $γ$-aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A (GABAA) receptors, which are the major inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in the central nervous sy...

Early socio-emotional experience induces expression of the immediate-early gene Arc/arg3.1 (activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein/activity-regulated gene) in learning-relevant brain regions of the newborn chick (2005)
Journal Article
Bock, J., Thode, C., Hannemann, O., Braun, K., & Darlison, M. (2005). Early socio-emotional experience induces expression of the immediate-early gene Arc/arg3.1 (activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein/activity-regulated gene) in learning-relevant brain regions of the newborn chick. Neuroscience, 133(3), 625-633. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroscience.2005.02.048

We have cloned a full-length complementary {DNA} from the chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus), which encodes a polypeptide that exhibits ∼75% identity to the product of the mammalian gene Arc (activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein), also...

Immune alterations, lipid peroxidation, and muscle damage following a hill race. (2005)
Journal Article
Simpson, R. J., Wilson, M. R., Black, J., Ross, J. A., Whyte, G. P., Guy, K., & Florida-James, G. (2005). Immune alterations, lipid peroxidation, and muscle damage following a hill race. Canadian Journal of Applied Physiology, 30(2), 196-211. https://doi.org/10.1139/h05-115

Hill races usually include large downhill running sections, which can induce significant degrees of muscle damage in a field setting. This study examined the link between muscle damage, oxidative stress, and immune perturbations following a 7-km moun...

Removal of regulatory T cell activity reverses hyporesponsiveness and leads to filarial parasite clearance in vivo. (2005)
Journal Article
Taylor, M. D., LeGoff, L., Harris, A., Malone, E. M., Allen, J. E., & Maizels, R. M. (2005). Removal of regulatory T cell activity reverses hyporesponsiveness and leads to filarial parasite clearance in vivo. Journal of Immunology, 174, 4924-4933

Human filarial parasites cause chronic infection associated with long-term down-regulation of the host’s immune response. We show here that CD4+ T cell regulation is the main determinant of parasite survival. In a laboratory model of infection, using...

Impact of marathon running on cardiac structure and function in recreational runners (2005)
Journal Article
Whyte, G. P., George, K., Shave, R., Dawsons, E., Stephenson, C., Edwards, B., Gaze, D., Oxborough, D., Forster, J., & Simpson, R. J. (2005). Impact of marathon running on cardiac structure and function in recreational runners. Clinical Science, 108(1), 73-80. https://doi.org/10.1042/CS20040186

The present study examined the relationship between LV (left ventricular) function, markers of cardiac-specific damage and markers of oxidative stress in recreational runners following a marathon. Runners (n=52; 43 male and nine female; age, 35±10 ye... Read More about Impact of marathon running on cardiac structure and function in recreational runners.

Age-related changes in maximal power and heart rate recorded during a ramped test in 114 cyclists age 15-73 years. (2005)
Journal Article
Balmer, J., Potter, C. R., Bird, S. R., & Davison, R. (2005). Age-related changes in maximal power and heart rate recorded during a ramped test in 114 cyclists age 15-73 years. Journal of Aging and Physical Activity, 13, 125-136

This study assessed age-related changes in power and heart rate in 114 competitive male cyclists age 15–73 years. Participants completed a maximal Kingcycle™ ergometer test with maximal ramped minute power (RMPmax, W) recorded as the highest average...
