Dyslipidaemia and altered hepatic function in males - consequences of androgen excess in fetal life (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Siemienowicz, K., Filis, P., Shaw, S., Douglas, A., Thomas, J., Howie, F., …Rae, M. (2019). Dyslipidaemia and altered hepatic function in males - consequences of androgen excess in fetal life. Endocrine abstracts, 63, https://doi.org/10.1530/endoabs.63.

Introduction: Adult male offspring of women with PCOS have increased dyslipidaemia, characterised by elevated triglycerides (TG), increased total and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C), and hyperinsulinaemia. As altered intrauterine endocrine environments can ‘... Read More about Dyslipidaemia and altered hepatic function in males - consequences of androgen excess in fetal life.

Preferential activation of HIF-2 adaptive mechanisms in neuronal-like cells in response to hypoxia (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fraser, J., Baudel, M., Rae, M., Darlison, M., & Poole, A. (2017, April). Preferential activation of HIF-2 adaptive mechanisms in neuronal-like cells in response to hypoxia. Poster presented at British Neuroscience Association - festival of neuroscience 2

Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Blockage, or occlusion, of cerebral arteries causes irreversible neuronal damage as disrupted blood flow starves neurones of oxygen and glucose. The hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs) are mas...

The expression of the chloride co-transporters NKCC1 and KCC2 is reversed in the penumbra following (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Baudel, M., Rae, M., Fraser, J., & Poole, A. (2017). The expression of the chloride co-transporters NKCC1 and KCC2 is reversed in the penumbra following. In Brain and Neuroscience: BNA 2017 Festival of Neuroscience: Abstract Book

Stroke is one of the major causes of death and disability worldwide. The harm caused by the interruption of blood flow to the brain unfolds in the subsequent hours and days, so it is critical to identify new therapeutic targets that could reduce neur...

Development of in vitro strategies to predict in vivo toxicity of engineered nanoparticles to the male reproductive system. (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Malone, E., Ross, B., Rae, M., Bouwmeester, H., Gosens, I., Cassee, F., …Hutchison, G. (2016, September). Development of in vitro strategies to predict in vivo toxicity of engineered nanoparticles to the male reproductive system. Poster presented at 11t

The introduction of engineered nanomaterials (ENM) to new materials and products requires informed risk assessment. The altered physico-chemical properties of ENM mean traditional assays to evaluate toxicity must be modified or validated to ensure...

Altered adipocytes in an ovine model of polycystic ovary syndrome (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Siemienowicz, K., Couckan, F., Lerner, A., Franks, S., Rae, M., & Duncan, C. (2015, November). Altered adipocytes in an ovine model of polycystic ovary syndrome. Poster presented at Society for Endocrinology BES

Obesity in PCOS: a consequence of prenatally programmed reduced energy expenditure (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Siemienowicz, K., Rae, M., Lerner, A., Franks, S., & Duncan, C. (2015, July). Obesity in PCOS: a consequence of prenatally programmed reduced energy expenditure. Paper presented at Society for Reproduction and Fertility Annual Conference

Polycystic ovary syndrome, a common endocrine condition affecting up to 10% of women of reproductive age, is associated with an increased risk of developing insulin resistance and obesity. Obesity is associated with increased energy intake or reduced... Read More about Obesity in PCOS: a consequence of prenatally programmed reduced energy expenditure.

The pathophysiology of increased hepatic IGF1 expression in an ovine model of polycystic ovary syndrome (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Siemienowicz, K., Boswell, L., Carr, D., Mina, T., Connolly, F., Rae, M., & Duncan, C. (2014, May). The pathophysiology of increased hepatic IGF1 expression in an ovine model of polycystic ovary syndrome. Poster presented at 16th European Congress of Endo

Exposure of pregnant sheep to increased concentrations of testosterone during midgestation results in a PCOS-like condition in the female offspring that includes increased hepatic IGF1. The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular pathophys... Read More about The pathophysiology of increased hepatic IGF1 expression in an ovine model of polycystic ovary syndrome.
