Impacts of maternal dietary fat intake on fetal development in an ovine model
Maternal diet during pregnancy can influence fetal development and may have lasting effects on offspring health and disease risk trajectory. Intake of dietary fatty acids has been a major focus in the biomedical and epidemiological literature given concerns about the adverse effects of excessive …

Fetal origins of cardiovascular dysfunction in an ovine model of maternal obesity in pregnancy
… dysfunction in the offspring originates in fetal life remains under-investigated. To address this knowledge gap, we generated a novel ovine model of maternal diet-induced obesity during pregnancy to investigate its impacts on fetal cardiovascular physiology. We adopted an integrative …

The serum concentrations of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (fT3) and free thyroxine (fT4) during early pregnancy
… unit, as well as other changes in maternal and fetal physiology. The present longitudinal study has investigated two main areas of endocrinology in circulating maternal serum from positive pregnancy test to the detection of a fetal heartbeat, namely (i) AMH and (ii) thyroid function. Women …

Long-Term Hypoxia Regulates Cortisol Biosynthesis in the Ovine Fetal Adrenal Cortex
Previous studies demonstrated enhanced fetal adrenal cortisol biosynthesis following exposure to long-term hypoxia (LTH). The studies presented here were designed to determine the mechanism(s) regulating this important adaptive endocrine response. Ewes were maintained at high altitude (3,820 m) …
