Characterisation of an acute anorexigenic action of l-tryptophan: a link with neural mechanisms regulating appetite
(The University of Waikato, 2018)Recent evidence suggests that individual amino acids may promote hypophagia, however, our understanding of processes underlying their anorexigenic action is extremely limited. The few human and laboratory animal studies ... -
Intragastric preloads of L-tryptophan reduce ingestive behavior via oxytocinergic neural mechanisms in male mice
(Elsevier, 2018)Human and laboratory animal studies suggest that dietary supplementation of a free essential amino acid, l-tryptophan (TRP), reduces food intake. It is unclear whether an acute gastric preload of TRP decreases consumption ... -
Palatability of Goat's versus Cow's Milk: Insights from the Analysis of Eating Behavior and Gene Expression in the Appetite-Relevant Brain Circuit in Laboratory Animal Models.
(2019)Goat's (GM) and cow's milk (CM) are dietary alternatives with select health benefits shown in human and animal studies. Surprisingly, no systematic analysis of palatability or preference for GM vs. CM has been performed ... -
The Assessment of Vitamin D, Antimicrobial Peptides and Procalcitonin in Bronchiectasis
(University of Waikato, 2014)My research investigated the distribution of antimicrobial peptides (cathelicidin and β-defensin 2), vitamin D and the inflammatory marker procalcitonin, between systemic and localised respiratory levels in stable ...
