Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Ashley Herdman's research investigates the impact of diet and hormonal signaling on the pituitary gland, with a particular focus on female mice. Herdman's work has explored how high-fat diets affect the anterior pituitary's transcriptome and cell metabolism, examining the role of oxidative stress. Further studies have focused on the ablation of leptin receptor signaling in somatotropes and its consequences for pituitary plasticity and transcriptome maturation. Herdman has also investigated the role of secretoneurin in modulating luteinizing hormone secretion by gonadotropes and the impact of menopause induction on gonadotrope transcriptomics and the GnRH signaling pathway. Herdman has published 11 papers, with an h-index of 2, and collaborates with Gwen V. Childs, Angela K. Odle, Melanie Clair Macnicol, and Angus M. MacNicol at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
