Carr D, Milne J, Aitken R, Adam C, Wallace J
J Dev Orig Health Dis . 2015 Aug; 6(6):558-72. PMID: 26310177
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and postnatal catch-up growth confer an increased risk of adult-onset disease. Overnourishment of adolescent ewes generates IUGR in ∼ 50% of lambs, which subsequently exhibit increased...

Adam C, Williams P, Milne J, Aitken R, Wallace J
J Neuroendocrinol . 2015 Jul; 27(10):765-71. PMID: 26212239
Adverse nutritional effects on developing foetal hypothalamic appetitive pathways may contribute to programmed hyperphagia and obesity in intra-uterine growth-restricted, low birth weight offspring. In the present study, for the first...

Adam C, Bake T, Findlay P, Milne J, Aitken R, Wallace J
Int J Dev Neurosci . 2013 Aug; 31(7):608-15. PMID: 23932904
Intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR) is involved in developmental metabolic programming and here we test the hypothesis that IUGR affects the developing hypothalamic energy balance regulatory pathways in a sex-specific manner....

Carr D, Aitken R, Milne J, David A, Wallace J
Reprod Domest Anim . 2013 Jun; 48(5):e78-80. PMID: 23772768
Uterus didelphys is a rare congenital abnormality of the reproductive tract. Although it occurs in various species, there are no published reports describing pregnancy outcome in association with this abnormality....

Redmer D, Milne J, Aitken R, Johnson M, Borowicz P, Reynolds L, et al.
Placenta . 2011 Dec; 33(2):114-21. PMID: 22154692
When pregnant adolescent sheep are overnourished during pregnancy normal nutrient partitioning priorities to the gravid uterus are altered, leading to impaired placental development and fetal growth restriction. We hypothesized that...

Adam C, Bake T, Findlay P, Milne J, Aitken R, Wallace J
Int J Dev Neurosci . 2011 May; 29(7):775-81. PMID: 21616134
Intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR) predisposes obesity in adulthood. This may be due to altered fetal nutrition causing sustained changes within the developing hypothalamic energy balance regulatory system. Using our established...

Caton J, Reed J, Aitken R, Milne J, Borowicz P, Reynolds L, et al.
J Anim Sci . 2008 Sep; 87(1):222-35. PMID: 18791144
Peripubertal ewe lambs (44.3 +/- 1.1 kg of initial BW) were used in a 2 x 3 factorial design to test the effects of plane of nutrition (diet) and stage...

Wallace J, Milne J, Matsuzaki M, Aitken R
Placenta . 2008 Jun; 29(8):718-24. PMID: 18579200
Uterine blood flow (UtBF) is a major regulator of transplacental fetal nutrient supply. The aim was to serially measure uterine blood flow from mid to late pregnancy in a paradigm...

Wallace J, Luther J, Milne J, Aitken R, Redmer D, Reynolds L, et al.
Placenta . 2006 Jan; 27 Suppl A:S61-8. PMID: 16442614
The risks of miscarriage, prematurity and low birth weight are particularly acute in adolescent girls who are still growing at the time of conception. The role of maternal nutrition in...

Wallace J, Bourke D, da Silva P, Aitken R
Reproduction . 2003 Oct; 126(4):481-7. PMID: 14525530
Overnourishing adolescent ewes throughout pregnancy promotes maternal tissue synthesis at the expense of placental growth, which in turn leads to a major decrease in lamb birth weight. As maternal dietary...
