Associations between IVF outcomes and essential trace elements measured in follicular fluid and urine: a pilot study.
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-016-0853-7

PurposeA hypothesis-generating pilot study exploring associations between essential trace elements measured in follicular fluid (FF) and urine and in vitro fertilization (IVF) endpoints.MethodsWe recruited 58 women undergoing IVF between 20…

Increased urinary cobalt and whole blood concentrations of cadmium and lead in women with uterine leiomyomata: Findings from the ENDO Study.
Reproductive toxicology (Elmsford, N.Y.) ·doi:10.1016/j.reprotox.2014.06.007

Multiple trace elements have estrogen receptor activity, but the association of these elements with uterine leiomyoma has not been defined. A cohort of 473 women aged 18-44 undergoing surgery for benign gynecologic indications provided whol…

Trace element analysis of human urine collected after administration of Gd-based MRI contrast agents: characterizing spectral interferences using inorganic mass spectrometry
Journal of analytical atomic spectrometry ·doi:10.1039/C3JA30331D

Analysis of human urine is commonly used in biomonitoring studies to assess exposure to essential (e.g., Cu, Zn, Se) and non-essential (Pb, Cd, Pt) trace elements. These data are also used in epidemiological studies to evaluate potential as…

article 2013
Trace elements and endometriosis: The ENDO Study
Reproductive toxicology (Elmsford, N.Y.) ·doi:10.1016/j.reprotox.2013.05.009

There has been limited study of trace elements and endometriosis. Using a matched cohort design, 473 women aged 18-44 years were recruited into an operative cohort, along with 131 similarly aged women recruited into a population cohort. End…

Associations between toxic metals in follicular fluid and in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes.
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-012-9882-z

PurposeWe previously reported associations between trace concentrations of Hg, Cd and Pb in blood and urine and reproductive outcomes for women undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Here we assess measurements in single follicular fluid …

DNA methylation changes in whole blood is associated with exposure to the environmental contaminants, mercury, lead, cadmium and bisphenol A, in women undergoing ovarian stimulation for IVF.
Human reproduction (Oxford, England) ·doi:10.1093/humrep/des038

BackgroundChanges in DNA methylation may play an important role in the deleterious reproductive effects reported in association with exposure to environmental pollutants. In this pilot study, we identify candidate methylation changes associ…

Toxic trace metals and human oocytes during in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Reproductive toxicology (Elmsford, N.Y.) ·doi:10.1016/j.reprotox.2010.01.003

Trace exposures to the toxic metals mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) may threaten human reproductive health. The aim of this study is to generate biologically-plausible hypotheses concerning associations between Hg, Cd, and Pb and i…
