Journal Article
Alshammari, G., Khan, R., Brameld, J. M., Amer, S. A., & Lomax, M. A. (2017). Gene expression of inflammatory markers in adipose tissue between obese women with polycystic ovary and normal obese women. European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences, 21(5),

OBJECTIVE: The pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common endocrine disease and metabolic disturbance, is still unknown. The aim of the study was to investigate whether patients with PCOS display increased expression of inflammatory m...

Modelling maternal obesity: the effects of a chronic high-fat, high-cholesterol diet on uterine expression of contractile-associated proteins and ex vivo contractile activity during labour in the rat (2015)
Journal Article
Muir, R., Ballan, J., Clifford, B., McMullen, S., Khan, R., Shmygol, A., …Elmes, M. (in press). Modelling maternal obesity: the effects of a chronic high-fat, high-cholesterol diet on uterine expression of contractile-associated proteins and ex vivo contractile activity during labour in the rat.

Maternal obesity is associated with prolonged and dysfunctional labour and emergency caesarean section, but the mechanisms are unknown. The present study investigated the effects of an adiposity-inducing high fat, high-cholesterol (HFHC) diet on uter...
