Biomarkers for assessing reproductive development and health: Part 1--Pubertal development.
The proposed National Children's Study has helped raise awareness of the issues related to children's health and the importance of monitoring the growth and development of children from preconception through adulthood. Many genetic predispositions can adversely impact the normal development process, and various environmental exposures have been linked to adverse reproductive health in rodent mo...
متن کاملReproductive health indicators of immature common carp exposed to municipal wastewater of Behbahan, Iran
Exogenous estrogens or pollutants with estrogen-like activity can induce vitellogenin (VTG) synthesis in male and juvenile fish, making this protein a useful indicator of chemicals that mimic estrogenic activity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of municipal wastewater on blood biochemical parameters of common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Under experimental conditions, biomark...
متن کاملUsing Biomarkers to Inform Cumulative Risk Assessment
BACKGROUND Biomarkers are considered the method of choice for determining exposure to environmental contaminants and relating such exposures to health outcomes. However, the association between many biomarkers and outcome is not direct because of variability in sensitivity and susceptibility in the individual. OBJECTIVES We explore the relationship between environmental exposures and health o...

couple of weeks to report on progress. A final thought. If we are prepared to tackle the ‘no sex’ issue head on and spend just a little time with patients exploring the issues, then we’re not just supporting them to get the help they need. We’re also giving them the message that they deserve that help, that their sexuality matters, and that they don’t simply have to accept their current ‘no sex...
متن کاملThe potential of exposure biomarkers in epidemiologic studies of reproductive health.
To further the development and application of exposure markers in field investigations in reproductive epidemiology, we have synthesized recent examinations of the issues surrounding exposure measurements in reproductive epidemiology. The specific goals of this paper are to define exposure biomarkers and explore their potential uses, particularly as screening tools. The tests for glucaric acid,...
