• The relationship between IGF-I and -II concentrations and body composition at birth and over the first 2 months 

  Hawkes, Colin P.; Grimberg, Adda; Kenny, Louise C.; Kiely, Mairead E.; Hourihane, Jonathan O'B.; Irvine, Alan D.; McPhaul, Michael J.; Caulfield, Michael P.; Zemel, Babette S.; Murray, Deirdre M. (Springer Nature, 2019-02-11)

  Background: Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I and -II play an important role in prenatal growth. During the first 2 months from birth, body fat doubles, and rapid weight gain during this time increases future risk of ...
• Vitamin D-biofortified beef: a comparison of cholecalciferol with synthetic versus UVB-mushroom-derived ergosterol as feed source 

  Duffy, Sarah K.; O'Doherty, John V.; Rajauria, Gaurav; Clarke, Louise C.; Hayes, Aoife; Dowling, Kirsten G.; O'Grady, Michael N.; Kerry, Joseph P.; Jakobsen, Jette; Cashman, Kevin D.; Kelly, Alan K. (Elsevier, 2018-02-21)

  This study investigates dietary fortification of heifer feeds with cholecalciferol and ergocalciferol sources and effects on beef total vitamin D activity, vitamer, respective 25-hydroxymetabolite contents, and meat quality. ...
• Comparative effect of different cooking methods on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of high pressure processed marinated pork chops 

  O'Neill, Ciara M.; Cruz-Romero, Malco C.; Duffy, Geraldine; Kerry, Joseph P. (Elsevier Ltd., 2019-03-13)

  The objective of this study was to assess the effect of griddle and steam cooking on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of high pressure processed (HPP) piri-piri marinated pork chops (MPC). Raw MPC that were ...
• Vitamin D and muscle strength throughout the life course: a review of epidemiological and intervention studies. 

  McCarthy, Elaine K.; Kiely, Mairead E. (Wiley, 2014-10-03)

  The putative role of vitamin D in muscle function and strength throughout the life course is of interest because muscle strength is required for engagement in physical activity at all ages. As vitamin D deficiency is widely ...
• Impact of maternal, antenatal and birth-associated factors on iron stores at birth: data from a prospective maternal–infant birth cohort 

  McCarthy, Elaine K.; Kenny, Louise C.; Hourihane, Jonathan O'B.; Irvine, Alan D.; Murray, Deirdre M.; Kiely, Mairead E. (Springer Nature, 2016-12-21)

  Background/Objectives: Low serum ferritin concentrations at birth, which reflect neonatal iron stores, track through to early childhood and have been associated with poorer neurodevelopmental outcomes. We aimed to identify ...
