Journal Article
Connolly, F., Rae, M. T., Bittner, L., Hogg, K., McNeilly, A. S., & Duncan, W. C. (2013). Excess Androgens in Utero Alters Fetal Testis Development. Endocrinology, 154, 1921-1933. https://doi.org/10.1210/en.2012-2153

Prenatal androgenization induces a polycystic ovary syndrome-like phenotype in adult female offspring, which is associated with alterations that can be detected in the fetal ovary, suggesting gestational origins of this condition. We therefore invest... Read More about Excess Androgens in Utero Alters Fetal Testis Development..

The Pancreas Is Altered by In Utero Androgen Exposure: Implications for Clinical Conditions Such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) (2013)
Journal Article
Franks, S., Rae, M. T., Grace, C., Hogg, K., Wilson, L. M., McHaffie, S. L., …Duncan, C. (2013). The Pancreas Is Altered by In Utero Androgen Exposure: Implications for Clinical Conditions Such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). PLOS ONE, 8(2), Article e56263. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0056263

Using an ovine model of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), (pregnant ewes injected with testosterone propionate (TP) (100 mg twice weekly) from day (d)62 to d102 of d147 gestation (maternal injection – MI-TP)), we previously reported female offspring...

Maternal undernutrition does not alter Sertoli cell numbers or the expression of key developmental markers in the mid-gestation ovine fetal testis (2013)
Journal Article
Andrade, L. P., Rhind, S. M., Rae, M. T., Kyle, C. E., Jowett, J., & Lea, R. G. (2013). Maternal undernutrition does not alter Sertoli cell numbers or the expression of key developmental markers in the mid-gestation ovine fetal testis. Journal of Negative Results in BioMedicine, 12(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/1477-5751-12-2

Background The aim of this study was to determine the effects of maternal undernutrition on ovine fetal testis morphology and expression of relevant histological indicators. Maternal undernutrition, in sheep, has been reported, previously, to alter...
