OverviewAI-generated summary
Ashley Herdman's research investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying pituitary gland function, particularly in response to dietary factors and hormonal signaling. Herdman's work has examined the transcriptomic changes in the anterior pituitary following a high-fat diet, exploring the impact of oxidative stress on cellular metabolism. Further studies have focused on the role of leptin receptor signaling in somatotrope maturation in female mice and how its ablation affects pituitary plasticity, especially in the context of aging and high-fat diets. Herdman has also explored the influence of secretogranin II-derived peptides, such as secretoneurin, on luteinizing hormone secretion and gonadotrope function, investigating these effects in relation to age and sex. Collaborations with Angela K. Odle, Melanie C MacNicol, Angus M. MacNicol, and Alex Lagasse have resulted in nine shared publications, indicating a strong network within the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
