Quantification of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in plasma and follicular fluid of patients undergoing in vitro fertilization in Iowa: A pilot study.
F&S reports ·doi:10.1016/j.xfre.2025.11.009
2024
Effects of Per- and Polyfluoroalkylated Substances on Female Reproduction.
Toxics ·doi:10.3390/toxics12070455

Per- and poly-fluoroalkylated substances (PFAS) are a large group of chemicals that persist both in the environment and in the body. Legacy PFAS, e.g., perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid, are implicated as endocrine di…

Zearalenone exposure differentially affects the ovarian proteome in pre-pubertal gilts during thermal neutral and heat stress conditions.
Journal of animal science ·doi:10.1093/jas/skae115

Zearalenone (ZEN), a nonsteroidal estrogenic mycotoxin, causes endocrine disruption and porcine reproductive dysfunction. Heat stress (HS) occurs when exogenous and metabolic heat accumulation exceeds heat dissipation. Independently, HS and…

A systematic evidence map for the evaluation of noncancer health effects and exposures to polychlorinated biphenyl mixtures.
Environmental research ·doi:10.1016/j.envres.2022.115148

Assessing health outcomes associated with exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) is important given their persistent and ubiquitous nature. PCBs are classified as a Group 1 carcinogen, but the full range of potential noncancer health …

2021
Circulating biomarkers associated with pelvic organ prolapse risk in late gestation sows.
Journal of animal science ·doi:10.1093/jas/skab207

Sow mortality, as the result of pelvic organ prolapse (POP), has been increasing in the last decade in the U.S. swine industry. The objective of this study was to identify potential biological markers associated with risk of POP in sows. We…

2021
Obesity alters the ovarian proteomic response to zearalenone exposure†.
Biology of reproduction ·doi:10.1093/biolre/ioab069

Zearalenone (ZEN), a nonsteroidal estrogenic mycotoxin, is detrimental to female reproduction. Altered chemical biotransformation, depleted primordial follicles and a blunted genotoxicant response have been discovered in obese female ovarie…

The Aryl hydrocarbon receptor mediates reproductive toxicity of polychlorinated biphenyl congener 126 in rats.
Toxicology and applied pharmacology ·doi:10.1016/j.taap.2021.115639

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are endocrine disrupting chemicals with documented, though mechanistically ill-defined, reproductive toxicity. The toxicity of dioxin-like PCBs, such as PCB126, is mediated via the aryl hydrocarbon receptor …

Small RNAs: Their Possible Roles in Reproductive Failure
Advances in experimental medicine and biology ·doi:10.1007/978-3-319-18881-2_3

Posttranscriptional gene regulation is a regulatory mechanism which occurs "above the genome" and confers different phenotypes and functions within a cell. Transcript and protein abundance above the level of transcription can be regulated v…

2014
Progressive obesity alters ovarian folliculogenesis with impacts on pro-inflammatory and steroidogenic signaling in female mice.
Biology of reproduction ·doi:10.1095/biolreprod.114.121343

Diet-induced obesity induces immune cell infiltration and inflammation in peri-ovarian adipose tissue and mRNA expression of inflammatory markers in ovarian tissue. Whether these changes are associated with obesity-related ovarian dysfuncti…

article 2009
Current Methods in Investigating the Development of the Female Reproductive System
Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.) ·doi:10.1007/978-1-60327-009-0_8

The female reproductive system is important as the site for development and fertilization of an oocyte, for implantation and development of an embryo, and for growth and delivery of the fetus. It also produces protein and steroid hormones t…
