OverviewAI-generated summary
Anessa Haney's research investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying pituitary gland function and its response to metabolic challenges, particularly in the context of diet and endocrine signaling. Her work has explored how factors such as leptin receptor signaling and oxidative stress impact the transcriptome of anterior pituitary cells. Haney has also examined the role of RNA-binding proteins, like Musashi, in regulating gene expression within the pituitary during the mouse estrous cycle. Her studies have utilized mouse models, including knockout mice, to elucidate the specific functions of leptin and its receptors in somatotrope development and function. Additionally, her research has addressed the long-term effects of maternal undernutrition on offspring metabolism, suggesting a potential pathway for promoting resistance to diet-induced weight gain. Haney's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 12 with 52 total publications and 494 citations. She has collaborated extensively with Gwen V. Childs, Angela K. Odle, Angus M. MacNicol, and Alex Lagasse, with whom she shares 15 publications.
