Maternal Body Weight and Gestational Diabetes Differentially Influence Placental and Pregnancy Outcomes (2015)
Journal Article
Martino, J., Sebert, S., Segura, M. T., García-Valdés, L., Florido, J., Padilla, M. C., Marcos, A., Rueda, R., McArdle, H. J., Budge, H., Symonds, M. E., & Campoy, C. (2016). Maternal Body Weight and Gestational Diabetes Differentially Influence Placental and Pregnancy Outcomes. Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 101(1), 59-68. https://doi.org/10.1210/jc.2015-2590

Context:

Maternal obesity and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can both contribute to adverse neonatal outcomes. The extent to which this may be mediated by differences in placental metabolism and nutrient transport remains to be determined....

Glucagon increases energy expenditure independently of brown adipose tissue activation in humans (2015)
Journal Article
Salem, V., Izzi‐Engbeaya, C., Coello, C., Thomas, D., Chambers, E., Comninos, A., Buckley, A., Win, Z., Al‐Nahhas, A., Rabiner, E., Gunn, R., Budge, H., Symonds, M., Bloom, S., Tan, T., & Dhillo, W. (2016). Glucagon increases energy expenditure independently of brown adipose tissue activation in humans. Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, 18(1), 72-81. https://doi.org/10.1111/dom.12585

Aims: To investigate, for a given energy expenditure (EE) rise, the differential effects of glucagon infusion and cold exposure on brown adipose tissue (BAT) activation in humans.
Methods: Indirect calorimetry and supraclavicular thermography was pe... Read More about Glucagon increases energy expenditure independently of brown adipose tissue activation in humans.

Effect of pre- and postnatal growth and post-weaning activity on glucose metabolism in the offspring (2015)
Journal Article
Dellschaft, N. S., Alexandre-Gouabau, M.-C., Gardner, D. S., Antignac, J.-P., Keisler, D. H., Budge, H., Symonds, M. E., & Sebert, S. P. (2015). Effect of pre- and postnatal growth and post-weaning activity on glucose metabolism in the offspring. Journal of Endocrinology, 224(2), https://doi.org/10.1530/JOE-14-0600

Maternal caloric restriction during late gestation reduces birth weight, but whether long-term adverse metabolic outcomes of intra-uterine growth retardation (IUGR) are dependent on either accelerated postnatal growth or exposure to an obesogenic env...
