Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Victoria G. Ortega's research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying pituitary plasticity and cellular metabolism, particularly in response to dietary changes and aging. Her work investigates how factors like high-fat diets and the ablation of leptin receptor signaling impact the transcriptome and proteome of specific pituitary cell lineages, such as somatotropes. Ortega has published research examining the effects of caloric restriction on Musashi targets in neonatal and adult pituitary proteomes and the consequences of disrupted leptin signaling on somatotrope transcriptome maturation in female mice. Her recent publications also explore the high fat diet-induced loss of pituitary plasticity in aging female mice with compromised leptin signaling in somatotropes. Ortega collaborates with 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 five publications.
