Examining the Effects of a High Fat, High Sugar Diet in Adolescence on Memory and Executive Functioning in Young Adulthood
… evidence from animal studies suggests that diets high in fats and sugar lead to poorer cognitive functioning. Importantly, animals exposed to a high fat, high sugar (HFHS) diet during adolescence show more pronounced deficits in cognitive performance than animals given this diet during …

The early origins of obesity: the importance of prenatal vs postnatal environment.
… maternal hyperglycemia or maternal intake of diets high in fat, sugar or total calories during pregnancy and lactation is associated with an increased risk of obesity and metabolic diseases in the offspring. The majority of studies to date, however, have examined the impact of maternal …

Hypoxia, Lipid Signalling and Tissue Metabolism in Obesity-Related Metabolic Disease
… metabolic dysregulation. As lipid metabolism is highly dependent on oxygen tension, this work aimed to investigate the links between hypoxia and altered tissue metabolism accompanying the progression of obesity-related metabolic disease, with a particular focus on lipid metabolism. In rat liver, …

Adult behaviour and cerebral cell densities after maternal or post-weaning consumption of an obesogenic diet in mice
… or post-weaning consumption of an obesogenic diet in mice Emily Jane Mort Maternal obesity during pregnancy impairs cardiometabolic health of the adult offspring in experimental animals, and is associated with behavioural and cognitive impairments in human populations including increased rates …

Modulation of the microbiota-gut-brain axis by fermented foods
… past two decades seminal work on the impact of diet in shaping gut microbiota composition has resulted in dietary intervention strategies emerging as a means to modulate host-microbiota crosstalk. Fermented foods can be the focus of such dietary interventions and have recently gained increased …

Decoding the interplay between the microbiota-gut-brain axis and the hypothalamic regulation of eating behaviour
… Also, startling is when exposure to unhealthy diets occurs during early-life period, neurodevelopment can also be impacted which results in consequences on metabolic health and eating behaviours. In this thesis, we identify key molecular signalling pathways involved in the regulation of …
