Dr Leanne Redman is a senior post-doctoral fellow in the Health and Performance Enhancement division at the Pennington Biomedical Research Centre. She is the recipient of a Neil Hamilton-Fairley clinical training fellowship from the NH & MRC in Australia and holds a joint appointment with Centre for Reproductive Health at the University of Adelaide, Australia. Her research is focused on studies of energy balance and physical activity on reproductive health in women.

2021, F and S ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Regular exercise before ART also improves the chances of pregnancy independently from weight loss for obese women (72). Physical exercise acts through metabolic pathways and insulin sensitization to benefit ovarian function (73, 74). Endometrial receptivity could also be influenced by this natural insulin sensitizer (75).

2019, Biochemical and Biophysical Research CommunicationsCitation Excerpt :This ongoing upward trend in obesity resulted in parallel rise in the associated comorbidities, including infertility. Eating habits are closely associated with the quality of women's reproductive life [3], surfeit and deficit of energy are associated with greater risk of reproductive disorders [4]. Palatability plays the key role in promoting hedonic hunger contributing to overeating which is the major factor involving in the disruption of the energy balance [5] that results in obesity [6].
Physical exercise before pregnancy helps the development of mouse embryos produced in vitro
2017, MitochondrionCitation Excerpt :Since epigenetic modification enzymes require energy to function, we inferred that improved metabolic functions by increasing mitochondrial oxidative capacity may enhance the epigenetic reprogramming in bovine SCNT embryos (Hua et al., 2012). Although previous studies have shown that environment factors including diet, exercise and stress during pregnancy influence the embryo development (Redman, 2006), the effect of pregestational activity on the development of embryos is poorly characterized. As IVF and SCNT are two common technologies to produce in vitro embryos, and reprogramming occurring with these embryos is more likely to be affected by various environmental factors.
