A Texas A&M AgriLife study with sheep may soon help address fertility problems in women, if it can discover ways to break the chain of generational transfer of polycystic ovary syndrome, PCOS one of the most common infertility disorders.
Rodolfo Cardoso, DVM, Department of Animal Science assistant professor and reproductive physiologist in Texas A&M’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, will lead a $2.4 million National Institutes of Health-funded project that will investigate the multigenerational effects of prenatal exposure to androgen excess using the sheep as the animal model.
