Contrasting Association of Maternal Plasma Biomarkers of Smoking and 1-Carbon Micronutrients with Offspring DNA Methylation: Evidence of Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Repressor Gene-Smoking-Folate Interaction
The Journal of nutrition ·doi:10.1016/j.tjnut.2023.05.002

BACKGROUND: Maternal prenatal smoking is known to alter offspring DNA methylation (DNAm). However, there are no effective interventions to mitigate smoking-induced DNAm alteration. OBJECTIVES: This study investigated whether 1-carbon nutri…

Body mass index in relation to extracellular vesicle-linked microRNAs in human follicular fluid
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2019.04.001

OBJECTIVE: To study whether increased body mass index is associated with altered expression of extracellular vesicle microRNAs (EV-linked miRNAs) in human follicular fluid. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: Tertiary-care university-…

Urinary concentrations of phenols and phthalate metabolites reflect extracellular vesicle microRNA expression in follicular fluid
Environment international ·doi:10.1016/j.envint.2018.11.043

BACKGROUND: Phenols and phthalates are potential endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that are associated with adverse health outcomes. These EDCs dysregulate a number of biomolecules and pathways, including microRNAs. MicroRNAs can be car…

New genetic loci link adipose and insulin biology to body fat distribution
Nature ·doi:10.1038/nature14132

Body fat distribution is a heritable trait and a well-established predictor of adverse metabolic outcomes, independent of overall adiposity. To increase our understanding of the genetic basis of body fat distribution and its molecular links…
