Seminal vesicle fluid factors reduced in HFD-fed males, including TGF-β1, IL-10, and TNF, were among the predicted upstream regulators of differentially regulated genes. Additionally, the T-cell response induced by mating with CD-fed males was blunted after mating with HFD-fed males, with 27% fewer CD4+ T cells, 26% fewer FOXP3+CD4+ regulatory T cells (Treg) cells, and 19% fewer CTLA4+ Treg cells, particularly within the NRP1+ thymic Treg cell population. These findings demonstrate that an obesogenic HFD alters the composition of seminal vesicle fluid and impairs seminal plasma capacity to elicit a favorable pro-tolerogenic immune response in females at conception.]]> Wed 09 Nov 2022 11:05:03 AEDT ]]> Toll-like receptor-4 null mutation causes fetal loss and fetal growth restriction associated with impaired maternal immune tolerance in mice https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48564 Tue 21 Mar 2023 15:51:48 AEDT ]]> Thymus-derived regulatory T cells exhibit Foxp3 epigenetic modification and phenotype attenuation after mating in mice https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37678 Fri 12 Mar 2021 10:43:52 AEDT ]]>
