Investigating human platelet function in low-oxygen environments is important in multiple settings, including hypobaric hypoxia (e.g., high altitude), sea level hypoxia-related disease, and thrombus stability. These studies often involve drawing bloo... Read More about Practical considerations of dissolved oxygen levels for platelet function under hypoxia.

Amino acids and the early mammalian embryo: Origin, fate, function and life‐long legacy (2021)
Journal Article

Amino acids are now recognised as having multiple cellular functions in addition to their traditional role as constituents of proteins. This is well-illustrated in the early mammalian embryo where amino acids are now known to be involved in intermedi...

Metabolic profile of in vitro derived human embryos is not affected by the mode of fertilization (2020)
Journal Article

The pattern of metabolism by early embryos in vitro has been linked to a range of phenotypes, including viability. However, the extent to which metabolic function of embryos is modified by specific methods used during ART has yet to be fully describ...

© 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Knowledge of how the biochemical composition of the bovine oviduct is altered due to the oviduct anatomy or the presence of an embryo is lacking. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the...

Application of extracellular flux analysis for determining mitochondrial function in mammalian oocytes and early embryos (2019)
Journal Article

Mitochondria provide the major source of ATP for mammalian oocyte maturation and early embryo development. Oxygen Consumption Rate (OCR) is an established measure of mitochondrial function. OCR by mammalian oocytes and embryos has generally been rest...

The metabolic integration processes required for platelet activation are unclear. The metabolic plasticity of human platelets were investigated. Activated platelets exhibit a glycolytic phenotype while preserving mitochondrial function. Platelets can... Read More about Glucose metabolism and metabolic flexibility in blood platelets.
