Affiliated Research Scientist Tulane National Primate Research Center, Covington, Louisiana 8/1988 - 2/1992 .......................... Research Assistant Professor Division of Perinatal Research Department of Obstetrics/Gynecology University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland The NIH, CDC, and private foundations supported faculty research investigations in humans and nonhuman primates at the Tulane University and University of Maryland Schools of Medicine, which described estrogen’s role in maintaining progesterone synthesis during pregnancy via the low-density lipoprotein receptor, as well as the potential for secondary cholesterol sources to fuel the progesterone production needed to maintain threatened pregnancies until normal term. Interests in fetal toxicology resulted in identifying cadmium, a metal that is an industrial pollutant and constituent of tobacco smoke, as an inhibitor of progesterone synthesis that linked maternal exposure to premature labor and spontaneous abortion. Later research interests also included leptin, which is a protein hormone that regulates energy utilization and promotes conceptus development. Work defined maternal-fetal-placental leptin dynamics with advancing pregnancy and suggested a role for the hormone in fetal lung maturation.
