Animals, 2019 Simple Summary The present study assessed the effects of maternal parity, weight, body condition score (BCS), and pregnancy rank (single vs. multiple) on maternal metabolism during pregnancy and subsequent lactation, as well as on lamb birth weight ...

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder with a complex pathogenesis that includes disordered follicle development, hypothalamic–pituitary–ovarian (HPO) axis dysfunction, hyperandrogenemia, and insulin resistance. The risk of complications during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and preeclampsia (PE)

Life history trade-offs and the partitioning of maternal investment
Evolution, Medicine and Public Health, 2018 Lay Summary: This review sets out the hypothesis that life history trade-offs in the maternal generation favour the emergence of similar trade-offs in the offspring generation, mediated by the partitioning of maternal investment between pregnancy and ...

Born high, born fast: Does highland birth confer a pulmonary advantage for sea level endurance?
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Less than 7% of the world's population live at an altitude above 1500 m. Yet, as many as 67% of medalists in the 2020 men's and women's Olympic marathon, and 100% of medalists in the 2020 men's and women's Olympic 5000 m track race may have been born or raised above this otherwise rare threshold.

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Elevated cortisol concentration in preterm sheep fetuses impacts heart development
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract The prepartum rise in cortisol promotes cardiac development and maturation. Here, we investigated the impact of elevated circulating cortisol during mid‐late gestation on cardiac growth and metabolism in fetal sheep. Saline or cortisol (2–3 mg in 4.4 mL/24 h) was infused into the fetal jugular vein from 109 to 116 days gestation (dG, term ...

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) impacts on succinate metabolism and angiogenesis in the umbilical cord endothelium. (Left Panel) Succinate levels increase in both maternal and fetal circulation at delivery, with higher concentrations observed in GDM pregnancies compared to controls during late gestation.

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2025.Abstract Near isogenic lines (NIL) were created to maintain good allele introgression in commercial tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum). NIL‐Sletr 1‐2 mutant tomato has a long shelf life. However, its growth, productivity, and fruit quality (taste and nutrition content) are below its maternal commercial cultivar.

Not by Selection Alone: Expanding the Scope of Gene‐Culture Coevolution
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 34, Issue 3, September 2025.ABSTRACT Gene‐culture coevolution (GCC)—an ambitious synthesis of biological and social sciences is often used to explain the evolution of key human traits. Despite the framework's broad conceptual appeal however, empirical evidence is often perceived as limited to a few key examples like lactase persistence.
