Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of undernutrition, in utero, on reproductive function in adult male and female sheep.
TL;DR: It is concluded that pre-natal undernutrition had no effect on male reproductive development and adult function, but reduced ovulation rate in female progeny, and was not associated with a change in gonadotrophin profiles or pituitary responsiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of nutrition and environmental factors on the fetal programming of the reproductive axis.
TL;DR: Although reproductive performance is clearly influenced by prenatal factors, much further work is required to identify the relationships between developmental abnormalities and adult reproductive function and to elucidate further the critical windows in development and the mechanisms by which environmental factors affect the reproductive organs of developing offspring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Programming of adult cardiovascular function after early maternal undernutrition in sheep.
G. S. Gopalakrishnan,David S. Gardner,S. M. Rhind,Michael T. Rae,Carol Kyle,A. N. Brooks,R. M. Walker,M. M. Ramsay,Duane H. Keisler,Terence Stephenson,Michael E. Symonds +10 more
TL;DR: Early NR has been shown to program aspects of cardiovascular control and adipocyte function in adult sheep through maternal dietary intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of maternal undernutrition during pregnancy on early ovarian development and subsequent follicular development in sheep fetuses.
M. T. Rae,S. Palassio,Carol Kyle,A. N. Brooks,Richard G. Lea,David W. Miller,Stewart M. Rhind +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that undernutrition before and during folliculogenesis can delay fetal follicular development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal undernutrition alters triiodothyronine concentrations and pituitary response to GnRH in fetal sheep.
TL;DR: It is concluded that pituitary function was altered in fetal males and could influence male reproductive development and raise the possibility that thyroid hormones may have a role in the expression of maternal undernutrition effects on fetal development.
