Measurement of Glutathione as a Tool for Oxidative Stress Studies by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (2020)
Journal Article
Nuhu, F., Gordon, A., Sturmey, R., Seymour, A. M., & Bhandari, S. (2020). Measurement of Glutathione as a Tool for Oxidative Stress Studies by High Performance Liquid Chromatography. Molecules, 25(18), Article 4196. https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules25184196

Background: Maintenance of the ratio of glutathione in the reduced (GSH) and oxidised (GSSG) state in cells is important in redox control, signal transduction and gene regulation, factors that are altered in many diseases. The accurate and reliable d... Read More about Measurement of Glutathione as a Tool for Oxidative Stress Studies by High Performance Liquid Chromatography.

Glucose concentration during equine in vitro maturation alters mitochondrial function (2020)
Journal Article
Lewis, N., Hinrichs, K., Leese, H. J., McGregor Argo, C., Brison, D. R., & Sturmey, R. G. (2020). Glucose concentration during equine in vitro maturation alters mitochondrial function. Reproduction, 160(2), 227-237. https://doi.org/10.1530/REP-20-0032

The use of in vitro embryo production in the horse is increasing in clinical and research settings, however, protocols are yet to be optimised. Notably, the two most commonly used base media for in vitro maturation (IVM) supply glucose at markedly di...

Metabolic profile of in vitro derived human embryos is not affected by the mode of fertilization (2020)
Journal Article
Sturmey, R. G., & Leary, C. (2020). Metabolic profile of in vitro derived human embryos is not affected by the mode of fertilization. Molecular Human Reproduction, 26(4), 277-287. https://doi.org/10.1093/molehr/gaaa015

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...

Spatial and pregnancy-related changes in the protein, amino acid, and carbohydrate composition of bovine oviduct fluid (2020)
Journal Article
Rodríguez-Alonso, B., Maillo, V., Acuña, O. S., López-Úbeda, R., Torrecillas, A., Simintiras, C. A., Sturmey, R., Avilés, M., Lonergan, P., & Rizos, D. (2020). Spatial and pregnancy-related changes in the protein, amino acid, and carbohydrate composition of bovine oviduct fluid. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 21(5), Article 1681. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms21051681

© 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...
