Journal Article
Pijacka, W., Clifford, B., Tilburgs, C., Joles, J. A., Langley-Evans, S. C., & McMullen, S. (2015). Protective role of female gender in programmed accelerated renal aging in the rat. Physiological Reports, 3(4), Article e12342. https://doi.org/10.14814/phy2.12342

The aging kidney exhibits a progressive decline in glomerular ?ltration rate, accompanied by in?ammatory and oxidative damage. We hypothesized that accelerated, age-related progression of renal injury is ovarian hormones-dependant. To address this we...

Body composition and behaviour in adult rats are influenced by maternal diet, maternal age and high-fat feeding (2015)
Journal Article
Ware, S., Voigt, J., & Langley-Evans, S. C. (2015). Body composition and behaviour in adult rats are influenced by maternal diet, maternal age and high-fat feeding. Journal of Nutritional Science, 4(e3), https://doi.org/10.1017/jns.2014.64

Fetal exposure to maternal undernutrition has lifelong consequences for physiological and metabolic function. Maternal low-protein diet is associated with an age-related phenotype in rats, characterised by a period of resistance to development of obe...
