• Cumulus Cell and Oocyte Gene Expression in Prepubertal Gilts and Sows Identifies Cumulus Cells as a Prime Informative Parameter of Oocyte Quality 

      Haug, Linda Marijke Dekker; Wilson, Robert Charles; Gaustad, Ann Helen; Jochems, Reina; Kommisrud, Elisabeth; Grindflek, Eli; Alm-Kristiansen, Anne Hege (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Cumulus cells (CCs) are pivotal during oocyte development. This study aimed to identify novel marker genes for porcine oocyte quality by examining the expression of selected genes in CCs and oocytes, employing the model ...
    • Insights in the regulation of trimetylamine N-oxide production using a comparative biomimetic approach suggest a metabolic switch in hibernating bears 

      Ebert, Thomas; Painer, Johanna; Bergman, Peter; Qureshi, Abdul Rashid; Giroud, Sylvain; Stalder, Gabrielle; Kublickiene, Karolina; Göritz, Frank; Vetter, Sebastian G.; Bieber, Claudia; Fröbert, Ole; Arnemo, Jon Martin; Zedrosser, Andreas; Redtenbacher, Irene; Shiels, Paul; Johnson, Richard J.; Stenvinkel, Peter (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Experimental studies suggest involvement of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) in the aetiology of cardiometabolic diseases and chronic kidney disease (CKD), in part via metabolism of ingested food. Using a comparative biomimetic ...
    • Specific shifts in the endocannabinoid system in hibernating brown bears 

      Boyer, Christian; Cussonneau, Laura; Brun, Charlotte; Deval, Christiane; Pais de Barros, Jean-Paul; Chanon, Stéphanie; Bernoud-Hubac, Nathalie; Daira, Patricia; Evans, Alina L.; Arnemo, Jon Martin; Swenson, Jon; Gauquelin-Koch, Guillemette; Simon, Chantal; Blanc, Stéphane; Combaret, Lydie; Bertile, Fabrice; Lefai, Etienne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      In small hibernators, global downregulation of the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is involved in modulating neuronal signaling, feeding behavior, energy metabolism, and circannual rhythms, has been reported to possibly ...
