Transgenerational effects of prenatal nutrient restriction on cardiovascular and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal function (2008)

Bertram, Caroline, Khan, Omar, Ohri, Sunil, Phillips, David I., Matthews, Stephen G., Hanson, Mark A.

The perinatal environment is a powerful determinant of risk for developing disease in later life. Here, we have shown that maternal undernutrition causes dramatic changes in heart structure and...

Gender differences in the relationship between leptin, insulin resistance and the autonomic nervous system (2007)

Flanagan, Daniel E., Vaile, Julian C., Petley, Graham W., Phillips, David I., Godsland, Ian F., Owens, Phillip, ...

OBJECTIVES: Leptin, an important hormonal regulator of body weight, has been shown to stimulate the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) in vitro although the physiological relevance remains unclear....

Body size at birth predicts hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis response to psychosocial stress at age 60 to 70 years (2007)

Kajantie, Eero, Feldt, Kimmo, Raikkonen, Katri, Phillips, David I., Osmond, Clive, Heinonen, Kati, ...

Background: Studies in humans and animals have suggested intrauterine programming of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPAA) function as an important mechanism in linking fetal life conditions...

Substrate-energy metabolism and metabolic risk factors for cardiovascular disease in relation to fetal growth and adult body composition (2006)

Kensara, Osama A., Wooton, Steve A., Phillips, David I., Patel, Mayank, Hoffman, Daniel J., Jackson, Alan A., ...

The effect of fetal programming on intermediary metabolism is uncertain. Therefore, we examined whether fetal programming affects oxidative and nonoxidative macronutrient metabolism and the...

Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity in adults who were prenatally exposed to the Dutch famine (2006)

De Rooij, Susanne R., Painter, Rebecca C., Phillips, David I., Osmond, Clive, Michels, Robert P., Bossuyt, Patrick M., ...

OBJECTIVE: The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis has been proposed to be susceptible to fetal programming, the process by which an adverse fetal environment elicits permanent physiological...

Fetal growth and the adrenocortical response to psychological stress (2006)

Jones, Alexander, Godfrey, Keith M., Wood, Peter, Osmond, Clive, Goulden, Peter, Phillips, David I.

CONTEXT: Experimental studies in animals show that adverse prenatal environments lead to lifelong alterations in the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, which mediates the stress...

Spontaneous hypothyroidism in adult women is predicted by small body size at birth and during childhood (2006)

Kajantie, Eero, Phillips, David I., Osmond, Clive, Barker, David J., Forsen, Tom, Eriksson, Johan G.

BACKGROUND: The relationships of early growth with coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes have received considerable attention. It is not known whether fetal or childhood growth is linked with...

Fetal programming of body composition: relation between birth weight and body composition measured with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry and anthropometric methods in older Englishmen (2005)

Kensara, Osama A., Wootton, Steve A., Phillips, David I., Patel, Mayke, Jackson, Alan A., Elia, Marinos

Background: Reduced fetal growth is associated with differences in body composition in adult life that may predispose to cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Most published data are based on simple...

Birth weight, weight at 1 y of age, and body composition in older men: findings from the Hertfordshire Cohort Study (2004)

Aihie-Sayer, Avan, Syddall, Holly E., Dennison, Elaine M., Gilbody, Helen J., Duggleby, Sarah L., Cooper, Cyrus, ...

Background: Size in early life is related to adult body mass index, and early environmental influences have been proposed to have lifelong consequences for obesity. However, body mass index also...

Central hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal activity and the metabolic syndrome: Studies using the corticotrophin-releasing hormone test (2004)

Ward, Alexandra M.V., Syddall, Holly E., Wood, Peter J., Dennison, Elaine M., Phillips, David I.

A number of studies have suggested that the metabolic syndrome (principally, the combination of hypertension, glucose intolerance, and dyslipidemia) is associated with subtle dysregulation of the...

Predicting cardiovascular risk factors from plasma cortisol measured during oral glucose tolerance tests (2003)

Reynolds, Rebecca M., Syddall, Holly E., Walker, Brian R., Wood, Peter J., Phillips, David I.

Increasing evidence suggests that activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis may contribute to the pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome and obesity. The mechanisms are unknown but...

Bertram, Caroline, Khan, Omar, Ohri, Sunil, Phillips, David I, Matthews, Stephen G, Hanson, Mark A
