Permutation tests to assess sex differences in omics data
Abstract. It is common to sex-stratify analyses of omics data and to report effects as ‘sex-specific’ when they are significant in only one sex. However, w

In this study, the authors investigated if offspring of DIO mothers exhibit mitochondrial abnormalities in primordial follicle oocytes already at birth, and if further alteration can be detected at weaning.

The impact of maternal diet-induced obesity on offspring primordial oocyte mitochondria at birth and at weaning
Abstract. Maternal diet-induced obesity (DIO) may affect adult offspring oocyte quality due to mitochondrial dysfunction. Here, we investigated whether off

Wnt9b enables androgen action to maintain Wolffian ducts in mice
Abstract. The Wolffian duct (WD) is the embryonic primordium that gives rise to the epididymis, vas deferens, and seminal vesicle. The androgen action in t

The #androgen action is the main driver for fetal Wolffian duct (WD) maintenance, which is essential for #malefertility. However, the androgen’s capability of promoting WD maintenance is lost in the #absence of #Wnt9b in mice.
