Childbirth is commonly viewed as difficult in human females, encompassed by the “Obstetrical Dilemma” (OD) described by early palaeoanthropologists as an evolved trade-off between a narrow pelvis necessitated by bipedalism and a large-brained fetal h...

Epigenetic regulation of 5α reductase-1 underlies adaptive plasticity of reproductive function and pubertal timing (2022)
Journal Article
Bar-Sadeh, B., Amichai, O. E., Pnueli, L., Begum, K., Leeman, G., Emes, R. D., Stöger, R., Bentley, G. R., & Melamed, P. (2022). Epigenetic regulation of 5α reductase-1 underlies adaptive plasticity of reproductive function and pubertal timing. BMC Biology, 20(1), Article 11. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12915-021-01219-6

Women facing increased energetic demands in childhood commonly have altered adult ovarian activity and shorter reproductive lifespan, possibly comprising a strategy to optimize reproductive success. Here we sought to understand the mechanisms of earl... Read More about Epigenetic regulation of 5α reductase-1 underlies adaptive plasticity of reproductive function and pubertal timing.
