Leptin–cholesterol crosstalk in pregnancy: Mechanistic implications for placental function and cardiometabolic programming

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Pregnancy requires the coordinated maternal reorganization of lipid and endocrine pathways to sustain fetal growth and anticipate neonatal nutrition. Leptin, produced by adipose tissue and the placenta, acts as an integrative signal linking maternal energy status with trophoblast function and vascular adaptation, while cholesterol provides ...

Maternal obesity during lactation as a hypertensive cardiovascular risk factor in the offspring

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Maternal obesity is a major public health concern, with growing evidence supporting its role in the developmental programming of cardiometabolic disease. Although prenatal mechanisms have been investigated extensively, the contribution of lactation as a postnatal window of cardiovascular (CV) programming remains insufficiently understood ...

TMEM16A chloride channels in the female reproductive tract and their role in normal and dysfunctional pregnancy and labour

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend TMEM16A plays a pivotal role in setting the duration of the action potential plateau in human uterine smooth muscle. An increase in TMEM16A expression in labour underpins a lengthening of the plateau and this provides time for the contraction to become larger and longer, important for timely successful labour.

Placental mitochondrial metabolic adaptation maintains cellular energy balance in pregnancy complicated by gestational hypoxia

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Placental mitochondrial adaptation to gestational hypoxia. Hypoxic pregnancy in sheep increases placental insulin like growth factor 2 (IGF2) signalling (1), which is associated with a shift in capacity away from β‐oxidation (2) and complex I‐mediated respiration (3), while maintaining total oxidative phosphorylation capacity (4).
