Reduced estrogen action is associated with obesity and insulin resistance. However, the cell and tissue-specific actions of estradiol in maintaining metabolic health remain inadequately understood, especially in men. We observed that skeletal muscle ESR1/Esr1 (encodes estrogen receptor α) is posi...
Using untargeted metabolomics, we aimed to characterise the systemic impact of environmental heat stress during exercise. Twenty-three trained male triathletes completed a 30-min exercise test in hot (35°C) and temperate (21°C) conditions. Venous blood samples were collected immediately pre- and ...
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is associated with increased relative liver weight at birth, hepatic function decline and a higher risk for chronic liver and cardiovascular diseases in adults. Precise mechanisms of early developmental plasticity to intervene in poor fetal programming and a...
