A comparative proteomics approach to studying skeletal muscle mitochondria from myostatin knockout mice
(The University of Waikato, 2006)Myostatin is a negative regulator of muscle growth. When it is not present or non-functional double-muscling occurs, the primary characteristic of this phenotype being an increase in muscle mass. Another characteristic of ... -
A comparative proteomics study of skeletal muscle mitochondria from myostatin null mice
(Portland Press Ltd, 2011)Myostatin is a secreted protein which is known to be a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth. Numerous studies have demonstrated that down-regulating the expression of myostatin results in an increase in muscle mass. ... -
The effect of cyanobacterial biomass enrichment by centrifugation and GF/C filtration on subsequent microcystin measurement
(http://www.mdpi.com/2072-6651/7/3/821/htm, 2015-03)Microcystins are cyclic peptides produced by multiple cyanobacterial genera. After accumulation in the liver of animals they inhibit eukaryotic serine/threonine protein phosphatases, causing liver disease or death. Accurate ... -
Enhanced sample preparation for quantitation of microcystins by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation–time of flight mass spectrometry
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2011)Introduction: Microcystins (MCs) are a group of cyanotoxins which pose a serious health threat when present in aquatic systems. Quantitative analysis of MCs by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation–time of flight ... -
Fine-scale cryogenic sampling of planktonic microbial communities: Application to toxic cyanobacterial blooms
(Wiley, 2016)A lack of fine-scale methods for sampling planktonic microbial populations hinders advancement in understanding the responses of these communities to environmental conditions. Current methods provide resolution at scales ...
