Presentation / Conference Contribution
Siemienowicz, K., Filis, P., Shaw, S., Douglas, A., Thomas, J., Howie, F., Fowler, P., Duncan, C., & Rae, M. (2019, May). Dyslipidaemia and altered hepatic function in males - consequences of androgen excess in fetal life. Presented at 21st European Congress of Endocrinology, Lyon, France

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.

Fetal androgen exposure is a determinant of adult male metabolic health (2019)
Journal Article
Siemienowicz, K. J., Filis, P., Shaw, S., Douglas, A., Thomas, J., Mulroy, S., Howie, F., Fowler, P. A., Duncan, W. C., & Rae, M. T. (2019). Fetal androgen exposure is a determinant of adult male metabolic health. Scientific Reports, 9, Article 20195 (2019). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-56790-4

Androgen signalling is a critical driver of male development. Fetal steroid signalling can be dysregulated by a range of environmental insults and clinical conditions. We hypothesised that poor adult male health was partially attributable to aberrant... Read More about Fetal androgen exposure is a determinant of adult male metabolic health.

Journal Article
Wilson, K. S., Wauters, J., Valentine, I., McNeilly, A., Girling, S., Li, R., Li, D., Zhang, H., Rae, M. T., Howie, F., Andrew, R., & Duncan, W. C. (2019).

Female giant pandas show complex reproductive traits, being seasonally monoestrus, displaying a variable length embryonic diapause and exhibiting pseudopregnancy. Currently, there is no confirmatory non-invasive biomarker of blastocyst implantation o...
