Impact of diet and exercise in growth restricted female rats on nephron endowment in male fetuses

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Uteroplacental insufficiency impairs kidney development and programs male‐onset cardiorenal disease, which can be transmitted to subsequent generations. Maternal lifestyle factors can independently influence fetal kidney development, highlighting that the lifestyle of growth‐restricted females can have further influence on F2 kidney ...

Ageing reveals the latent effects of early life stress on respiratory and metabolic function in female rats: Novel insights into the sex‐specific origins of sleep apnoea

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sleep apnoea (SA) is ∼2 times more prevalent in men than women. However, this changes at menopause as the occurrence of SA increases and matches that of men. Menopause is a natural process, but it remains unclear why SA emerges only in a subpopulation of ageing women.
