High fat diet-induced loss of pituitary plasticity in aging female mice with ablated leptin signaling in somatotropes by Tiffany K. Miles, Tiffany K. Miles, Angela K. Odle, Stephanie D. Byrum, Stephanie D. Byrum, Stephanie D. Byrum, Alex N. Lagasse, Anessa C. Haney, Victoria G. Ortega, Ashley K. Herdman, Melanie C. MacNicol, Melanie C. MacNicol, Angus M. MacNicol, Gwen V. Childs

“…Ingenuity Pathway Analysis indicated that the DEGs included targets of critical upstream regulators important for pituitary cell function and plasticity (CREB, Fox01, cAMP, STAT3, insulin, TRH, GnRH, and leptin signaling pathways), with most pathways predicted to be downregulated by the HFD. Unlike controls, HFD-fed mutant cell populations exhibited DEGs consistent with the downregulation of translational regulatory pathways. …”
