Interaction between cytochrome P450 gene polymorphisms and serum organochlorine TEQ levels in the risk of endometriosis
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/gam018

Exposure to dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) has been suggested as a possible etiologic factor for endometriosis, but the association remains highly controversial. To assess whether cytochrome P450 (CYP) gene polymorphisms modul…

Fish intake and serum levels of organochlorines among Japanese women
The Science of the total environment ·doi:10.1016/j.scitotenv.2005.04.014

This study evaluates background serum levels of selected organochlorine compounds among Japanese women of reproductive age and investigates whether lifestyle factors, especially dietary factors, may be associated with these levels. A cross-…

Associations between serum levels of selected organochlorine compounds and endometriosis in infertile Japanese women
Environmental research ·doi:10.1016/j.envres.2005.04.003

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have been proposed as risk factors for endometriosis. Persistent organochlorine compounds, a group of suspected EDCs, are present to some extent in almost all human adipose tissue and blood via the food…

Relationship of serum TCDD concentrations and age at exposure of female residents of Seveso, Italy.
Environmental health perspectives ·doi:10.1289/ehp.6573

In 1976, a chemical plant explosion near Seveso, Italy, resulted in the highest known exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) in residential populations. In 1996, we initiated the Seveso Women's Health Study (SWHS), a histori…

Serum dioxin concentrations and endometriosis: a cohort study in Seveso, Italy.
Environmental health perspectives ·doi:10.1289/ehp.02110629

Dioxin, a ubiquitous contaminant of industrial combustion processes including medical waste incineration, has been implicated in the etiology of endometriosis in animals. We sought to determine whether dioxin exposure is associated with end…
