This project aims to understand molecular pathways regulated by male sex hormones in the placenta that may contribute to sex-specific fetal growth and survival outcomes in response to reduced oxygen and/or glucose. Through this project, we expect to generate new knowledge of the mechanisms that drive sex-specific placental molecular function using interdisciplinary approaches. The application of this advanced understanding of the sex-specific regulation of placental molecular function and fetal growth may be targeted in future studies to improve fetal growth outcomes in placental mammals such as livestock, domestic pets, and humans.

该项目旨在了解胎盘中男性性激素调节的分子途径，这可能会导致性别特异性胎儿生长和生存结果，以响应减少的氧气和/或葡萄糖。通过这个项目，我们期望通过跨学科方法来产生有关推动性别特定胎盘分子功能的机制的新知识。在未来的研究中，对胎盘分子功能和胎儿生长的性别特异性调节的这种深入了解可以改善胎盘哺乳动物的胎儿生长结果，例如牲畜，家养宠物和人类。
