OverviewAI-generated summary
Victoria G. Ortega investigates the impact of diet and aging on the anterior pituitary gland, specifically focusing on the role of leptin receptor signaling in somatotropes. Her work has examined transcriptomic changes in the pituitary following a high-fat diet, noting the influence of oxidative stress on cell metabolism. Research also explores how ablating leptin receptor signaling affects somatotrope transcriptome maturation and pituitary plasticity in aging female mice. Ortega has also studied the differential stimulation of luteinizing hormone secretion by secretoneurin in murine pituitaries across age and sex. Further research has investigated how maternal caloric restriction alters protein expression in neonatal and adult pituitaries. 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.
