Dr Kay Rutherfurd-Markwick

Associate Professor in Pathophysiology

School of Health Sciences

I have considerable experience investigating the effects of dietary supplementation (including probiotics) on immune function in a wide range of species, including humans, cats, dogs, mice and chickens. This research work has assisted in the development of functions foods for humans. Two new dairy products sold by Fonterra into Asia since 2000 were a result of my research work. The probiotic strain, DR10 (HN019 in publications), was originally marketed in Fernleaf DefenseÔ (winner of the Trade NZ Food Export Award, 2000) and has now been licensed to Danisco one of the world’s largest ingredient companies.

I have also worked for a number of years investigating the biochemistry of unusual sulphur amino acids such as felinine and isovalthine which are excreted in cat urine. Recent work has focused on determining the mechanism of felinine formation and the isolation and identification of other felinine containing excretion products such as Acetyl-felinine, and also determining the effects of dietary supplementation on isovalthine excretion. This felinine research work has proved to be ground-breaking, and has made a significant contribution to new knowledge in sulphur amino acid metabolism in cats. Current research is extending this work with a research project aimed to determine if humans with certain metabolic disorders such as severe diabetes, hypercholesterolaemia and hypothyroidism excrete isovalthine.

New areas of research include the expansion of techniques developed in animals for use in humans in a project which aims to correlate electrolyte levels in serum, saliva, sweat and urine in resting and exercising humans
