Journal Article
Alenezi, S. A., Khan, R., Snell, L., Aboeldalyl, S., & Amer, S. (2023). The Role of NLRP3 Inflammasome in Obesity and PCOS — A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 24(13), Article 10976. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms241310976

Inflammasomes have recently been implicated in the pathogenesis of several chronic inflammatory disorders, such as diabetes and obesity. The aim of this meta-analysis was to investigate the possible role of the NLRP3 inflammasome in obesity and polyc...

The impact of maternal obesity on in vivo uterine contractile activity during parturition in the rat (2023)
Journal Article
Muir, R., Khan, R., Shmygol, A., Quenby, S., & Elmes, M. (2023). The impact of maternal obesity on in vivo uterine contractile activity during parturition in the rat. Physiological Reports, 11(5), Article e15610. https://doi.org/10.14814/phy2.15610

Maternal obesity is associated with increased risk of prolonged and dysfunctional labor and emergency caesarean section. To elucidate the mechanisms behind the associated uterine dystocia, a translational animal model is required. Our previous work i...
