OverviewAI-generated summary
Melody Allensworth‐James studies the role of leptin as a metabolic signal in the differentiation of pituitary cells. Her research has investigated how maternal undernutrition can lead to transcript changes in male offspring that may promote resistance to high-fat diet-induced weight gain. Allensworth‐James has published 23 papers, with a total of 329 citations, and holds an h-index of 10. She has collaborated with Gwen V. Childs, Angela K. Odle, Melanie C MacNicol, and Angus M. MacNicol, all from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom she shares two publications each.
