Carotenoid modulation of immune function and sexual attractiveness in zebra finches.

Jonathan D Blount, Neil B. Metcalfe, Timothy R. Birkhead, Peter F Surai
Science
2003

One hypothesis for why females in many animal species frequently prefer to mate with the most elaborately ornamented males predicts that availability of carotenoid pigments is a potentially limiting… (More)

Carotenoids and egg quality in the lesser blackbacked gull Larus fuscus: a supplemental feeding study of maternal effects.

Jonathan D Blount, Peter F Surai, +4 authors Malcolm W Kennedy
Proceedings. Biological sciences
2002

Egg quality is a phenotype of, and can profoundly influence fitness in, both mother and offspring. However, the physiological mechanisms that underlie this maternal effect are poorly understood.… (More)

Effect of selenium and vitamin E content of the maternal diet on the antioxidant system of the yolk and the developing chick.

Peter F Surai
British poultry science
2000

1. The effects of selenium and vitamin E supplementation of the maternal diet on their transfer to the egg yolk and tissues of the newly hatched chick and on the development of the antioxidant system… (More)

How coccidian parasites affect health and appearance of greenfinches

Peeter Hõrak, Lauri Saks, +4 authors Graw
2004

1. The aim of this study was to examine the mechanisms by which parasites can affect the expression of ornamental traits. 2. Levels of an intestinal coccidian parasite, Isospora lacazei, were… (More)

Fat-soluble antioxidants in the eggs of great tits Parus major in relation to breeding habitat and laying sequence

Peeter Hõrak, Peter F Surai, Anders Pape Møller
2002

Among many altricial bird species, nestlings within a brood do not hatch simultaneously but over a period of several days (e.g. Clark & Wilson 1981, Ricklefs 1993, Stoleson & Beissinger 1995).… (More)

Selenium content in selected foods from the Greek market and estimation of the daily intake.

Eleni C Pappa, Athanasios C Pappas, Peter F Surai
The Science of the total environment
2006

The total selenium content of foods purchased from the North West part of Greece was determined using hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectroscopy. The results of this study were within the… (More)

Tissue-specific differences in antioxidant distribution and susceptibility to lipid peroxidation during development of the chick embryo.

Peter F Surai, Raymond C. Noble, Brian K. Speake
Biochimica et biophysica acta
1996

The purpose of this study was to determine the tissue-specific acquisition of antioxidant capacity during chick embryo development and to assess the effectiveness of this process in the prevention of… (More)

Neonatal nutrition, adult antioxidant defences and sexual attractiveness in the zebra finch.

Jonathan D Blount, Neil B. Metcalfe, Kathryn E. Arnold, Peter F Surai, Godefroy L Devevey, Pat Monaghan
Proceedings. Biological sciences
2003

Early nutrition has recently been shown to have pervasive, downstream effects on adult life-history parameters including lifespan, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Damage to… (More)

Selenoproteins and maternal nutrition.

Athanasios C Pappas, Evangelos Zoidis, Peter F Surai, George P. Zervas
Comparative biochemistry and physiology. Part B…
2008

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element of fundamental importance to health due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and chemopreventive properties attributed to its presence within at least 25… (More)
