King A, Kelly R, Sallenave J, Bocking A, Challis J
Placenta . 2007 Aug; 28(11-12):1099-106. PMID: 17664005
The prevention of uterine infection is critical to appropriate fetal development and term delivery. The innate immune system is one component of the uterine environment and has a role in...

King A, Paltoo A, Kelly R, Sallenave J, Bocking A, Challis J
Placenta . 2006 Mar; 28(2-3):161-9. PMID: 16513165
Preterm birth associated with infection is a major clinical problem. We hypothesized that this condition is associated with altered expression of natural antimicrobial molecules (beta-defensins (HBD), elafin). Therefore, we examined...

Loeliger M, Watson C, Reynolds J, Penning D, Harding R, Bocking A, et al.
Neuroscience . 2003 Feb; 116(3):705-14. PMID: 12573713
Umbilical cord occlusion causes fetal hypoxemia which can result in brain injury including damage to cerebral white matter. Excessive glutamate release may be involved in the damage process. This study...

McKeown K, Challis J, Small C, Adamson L, Bocking A, Fraser M, et al.
Biol Reprod . 2000 Nov; 63(6):1899-904. PMID: 11090463
Term and preterm labor are associated with increased fetal hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) activation and synthesis of prostaglandins (PGs) generated through the increased expression of prostaglandin H synthase-II (PGHS-II) in the placenta....

Jeffray T, Marinoni E, Ramirez M, Bocking A, Challis J
Am J Obstet Gynecol . 1999 Dec; 181(6):1546-51. PMID: 10601941
Objective: This study was undertaken to examine the effects of prenatal betamethasone administration on corticosteroid-binding globulin concentrations in maternal and fetal plasma and amniotic fluid. Study Design: Two groups of...

Watson C, White S, Homan J, Fraher L, Brien J, Bocking A
J Appl Physiol (1985) . 1999 Oct; 87(4):1333-8. PMID: 10517760
Administration of either ethanol or adenosine inhibits fetal breathing movements (FBM), eye movements, and low-voltage electrocortical activity (LV ECoG). The concentration of adenosine in ovine fetal cerebral extracellular fluid increases...

Watson C, White S, Homan J, Kimura K, Brien J, Fraher L, et al.
J Appl Physiol (1985) . 1999 Apr; 86(4):1410-20. PMID: 10194230
Adenosine and PGE2 are neuromodulators, both of which inhibit fetal breathing movements (FBM). Although circulating PGE2 has been implicated as a mediator of ethanol-induced inhibition of FBM in the late-gestation...

Watson C, Homan J, White S, Challis J, Bocking A
Can J Physiol Pharmacol . 1999 Mar; 76(9):858-66. PMID: 10066135
Fetal breathing movements (FBM) are inhibited by both exogenous prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and ethanol in sheep. Maternal ethanol exposure in late-gestation sheep also increases fetal [PGE2]. However, during prolonged reduced...

Stein P, White S, Homan J, Hanson M, Bocking A
Am J Physiol . 1999 Feb; 276(2):R340-6. PMID: 9950910
This study examines the role of the peripheral chemoreceptors in mediating fetal cardiovascular responses to prolonged hypoxia secondary to reduced uterine blood flow (RUBF). Fetal sheep were chronically instrumented for...

Bocking A, Challis J, Korebrits C
Am J Obstet Gynecol . 1999 Jan; 180(1 Pt 3):S247-8. PMID: 9914626
There is a pressing need to develop accurate methods of diagnosing true preterm labor because of the availability of potent tocolytic drugs and the known beneficial effects of antenatal glucocorticoid...
