In a study on rabbits, the researchers observed that exposure to BPA during pregnancy caused chronic inflammation in the offspring’s intestines and liver. The researchers also noted signs of increased gut permeability — or leaky gut — and a decrease in the diversity of gut bacteria and anti-...
In 1981, Quebec adopted a policy that provides "precautionary leave" or reassignment of pregnant workers to other jobs if they are exposed to a factor suspected to compromise their health or that of their fetus during pregnancy. The advantages and disadvantages of this approach to managing ...
The exposure to this toxin during pregnancy and later, during lactation, can have reversible or irreversible ef- fects on the offspring [18, 19]. Furthermore, the toxin has been proven to have effects which are independent of its binding to the estrogen receptors [8], such as cytotoxicity,...
Maternal secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure during pregnancy was also found to be an independent risk factor for wheezing in children up to the age of 2 years [5]. Similarly, we previously showed that current maternal smoking and maternal exposure to SHS during pregnancy significantly increased the ...
Exposure to bisphenol A during pregnancy and child neuropsychological development in the INMA–Sabadell cohort. Environ. Res. 142, 671–679 (2015). This paper details one of the only prospective cohort studies examining the association between prenatal BPA exposure and both child behaviour and ...
A precise etiology for CHD remains elusive, but likely results from interactions between genetic and environmental factors during development, when the heart adapts to physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Further, it has become clearer that early exposure to toxins that do not result in ...
While the global society has established corresponding pyrethroid residue limits based on health of individuals, these limits are focused on the protection of the exposed individual and do not, for the time being, consider the effects on the offspring, to whom exposure during pregnancy may still ...
many toxins produce hyperstimulation of receptors by directly binding and activating them (agonism). Others reduce receptor stimulation by prohibiting the neurotransmitter from activating them (antagonism). Unborn andnewbornbabies are particularly susceptible toneurotoxinsgiven their rapid tissue growth, cell ...
Chemical toxins are everywhere. Exposure to those toxins during pregnancy can create serious health issues in elementary school children, a new study found.
It is concluded that scorpion envenomation during pregnancy potentially causes intrauterine fetal alterations and growth impairment.doi:10.1590/S1678-91992012000300009Hmed, BNRiadh, BSerria, HKamel, JKhaled, ZSciELOJournal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases...
