OverviewAI-generated summary
Victoria G. Ortega investigates the impact of diet and hormonal signaling on pituitary gland function, particularly focusing on somatotrophs and leptin receptor signaling in female mice. Her research explores how high-fat diets and the absence of leptin receptor signaling alter gene expression and cellular metabolism within the anterior pituitary. Ortega has published studies examining transcriptomic changes in response to high-fat diets, oxidative stress, and the specific ablation of leptin receptors in somatotrophs. Her work also includes investigating the effects of maternal caloric restriction on pituitary proteomes in neonatal and adult mice. Ortega collaborates with researchers Gwen V. Childs, Angela K. Odle, Melanie C. MacNicol, and Angus M. MacNicol at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications.
