OverviewAI-generated summary
Ashley Herdman's research investigates the impact of diet and aging on the pituitary gland, particularly focusing on the role of leptin receptor signaling in somatotropes. Herdman's work has explored how high-fat diets influence anterior pituitary transcriptomics, with an emphasis on oxidative stress and cell metabolism. Further studies examine the consequences of ablating leptin receptor signaling in female mice, revealing alterations in somatotrope transcriptome maturation and pituitary plasticity in aging animals. Herdman has also investigated gonadotrope remodeling in states of sustained low estrogen and the influence of secretoneurin on luteinizing hormone secretion. Collaborations include extensive work with Angela K. Odle, Melanie C MacNicol, Angus M. MacNicol, and Alex Lagasse at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom Herdman shares nine publications.
