Visual evoked potentials in children prenatally exposed to methylmercury
(Elsevier BV, 2013)
Prenatal exposure to methylmercury can cause both neurobehavioral deficits and neurophysiological changes. However, evidence of neurotoxic effects within the visual nervous system is inconsistent, possibly due to incomplete ...
Prenatal Methylmercury Exposure and Genetic Predisposition to Cognitive Deficit at Age 8 Years
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2013)
BACKGROUND: Cognitive consequences at school age associated with prenatal methylmercury (MeHg) exposure may need to take into account nutritional and sociodemographic cofactors as well as relevant genetic polymorphisms. ...
Methylmercury Exposure and Incident Diabetes in U.S. Men and Women in Two Prospective Cohorts
(American Diabetes Association, 2013)
OBJECTIVE Emerging in vitro and animal evidence suggests that methylmercury could increase type 2 diabetes, but little evidence exists in humans. We aimed to prospectively determine associations of mercury exposure, as ...
A computational approach to chemical etiologies of diabetes
(Nature Publishing Group, 2013)
Computational meta-analysis can link environmental chemicals to genes and proteins involved in human diseases, thereby elucidating possible etiologies and pathogeneses of non-communicable diseases. We used an integrated ...
Neurobehavioural effects of developmental toxicity
(Elsevier BV, 2014)
Neurodevelopmental disabilities, including autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, dyslexia, and other cognitive impairments, affect millions of children worldwide, and some diagnoses seem to be increasing in ...
Genetic susceptibility to methylmercury developmental neurotoxicity matters
(Frontiers Media SA, 2013)
Semen quality and reproductive hormones in Faroese men: a cross-sectional population-based study of 481 men
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2013)
Objectives To determine semen quality and reproductive hormone levels in young Faroese men.
Design Descriptive cross-sectional study of Faroese men compared with Danish men.
Setting Faroese one-centre study.

Early-life prevention of non-communicable diseases
(Elsevier BV, 2013)
Transparency and translation of science in a modern world
(BioMed Central, 2013)
The co-Editors-in-Chief of Environmental Health respond to an unusual initiative taken by editors of 14 toxicology journals to influence pending decisions by the European Commission to establish a framework for regulating ...
Plasma Levels of Persistent Organic Pollutants and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes: a Prospective Analysis in the Nurses’ Health Study and Meta-analysis
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2013)
Background: Prospective data regarding persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) are limited, and the results for individual POPs are not entirely consistent across studies. Objectives: We ...
