Exposure to estrogenic compounds may pose a developmental hazard infants. Soy products, which contain the phytoestrogens, genistein and daidzein, are becoming increasingly popular as infant foods. To begin evaluate potential of phytoestrogens in these products affect infants, we measured total daidzein contents commercially available soy-based formulas, cereals, dinners, rusks. We also assayed dairy-based formulas breast milk from omnivorous or vegetarian mothers. In most cases, glucoside...
Until recently, the dominant Mac Giolla Phádraig narrative had surname associated only with Barony of Upper Ossory, ancient origins in medieval Osraí (Kingdom Ossory). Yet, it has now been demonstrated, mainly via sixteenth-and seventeenth century Fiants and Patent Rolls Ireland, that there was a Clann Dál gCais present Clár (County Clare) sixteenth century, having domiciled since thirteenth century. Also, by interrogation Rolls, is shown here resident Laighean (Leinster) counties no...

The Daltons of Kildalton (Cill an Dátúnaigh), a townland less than one mile north the River Suir and Co.

DNA analysis has enabled a much deeper interrogation of our surnames, Keesing and Fitzpatrick, than was possible via traditional genealogical research. This can inform us regarding the potential ‘hidden’ complexities some surnames. Through juxtaposing narratives family histories findings we demonstrate, using collaborative autoethnography, how surnames be haunted by ghosts both real imagined. The DNA-enabled critical exploration history in context social political factors that shaped them,...
The starting place for Part II of Mac Giolla Phádraig Osraí: 1384-1534 is Feartach, Cill Chainnigh (Fertagh, Co. Kilkenny) where a previously little known cleric, and unrecognised clann chieftain, was appointed Prior in 1506. There are many mysterious elements Kilpatrick’s tomb at Gráinseach Feartach (Grangefeartach), which said to be the final resting Brian na luireach his son Seán, critical examination cannot fail lead inevitable question – it not they, but others, who buried there?

The first part of this review Mac Giolla Phádraig Osraí history (1384-1534) covers the period 1384, from conquest Richard II, to 1454, by which time clan had entered into an alliance with their mortal enemies, Butlers Ormond.

Y-DNA analysis of Fitzpatricks has turned traditional historical narratives how the surname was taken on its head. The attachment Fitzpatrick to Barons Upper Ossory, who were supposedly descendants Mac Giolla Phádraig Osraí and, in turn, an ancient Laighin (Leinster) lineage, is no longer sustainable. DNA insights and critical assessment records have demonstrated that those claim descend from barons a Y-haplotype consistent with them emerging line clerics out Norman-Irish origin ca. 1200 AD....

Y-DNA analysis is a remarkable method that can inform patrilineal genealogies, both ancient, and modern. Applied here to facilitate critical review of Branan pedigrees, an haplogroup R-BY140757 results in deep questioning the dominant narratives O’Braonáin Uí Dhuach (O’Brenan Idough). What disruption those total. The Dhuach, held by Ossorian historians share descent from Cearbhall, King Osraí (843-888 AD), we argue, are not Osraighe, but Failghi tribe – this based on ultimate authority...

The effectiveness of competitive peptide vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) receptor antagonists was evaluated on heart rate in the anaesthetized dog. Two specific antagonists, VIP (6-28) and [D-p-Cl-Phe(6), Leu(17)]-VIP, a nonspecific antagonist, pituitary adenylate cyclase activating fragment (6-27) (PACAP), were studied. Leu(17)]-VIP (100 microg i.c.) increased rate, whereas PACAP reduced baseline rate. All three shifted dose-response curve to right by two- threefold for 30 min. In...
