Inflamed phenotype of the mesenteric microcirculation of melanocortin type 3 receptor-null mice after ischemia-reperfusion

The author made a substantial contribution either to the conception and design of the study; or to the organisation of the conduct of the study; to analysis and interpretation of study data. The author helped draft the output; or critique the output for important intellectual content. The paper was based on a multi-centre research project arising from a British Heart Foundation (BHF) PhD studentship award. The project required expertise in in vivo and in vitro techniques resulting in identification of a tonic inhibitory signal provided by the MC3 receptor in the mesenteric microcirculation of the mouse. Dr Getting’s involvement was the conception of the paper, expertise in designing in vivo intra-vital experiments and in vitro experimentation (analysis of blood/plasma samples and Elisa). Dr Getting also analysed and interpreted the data and was involved in writing the manuscript, providing intellectual input to the paper as a whole.
