Biomonitoring is a commonly used tool for exposure assessment of organic environmental
chemicals with urine and blood samples being the most commonly used matrices. However …

Abstract Purpose of Review Technological advances have allowed dried blood spots (DBS)
to be utilized for various measurements, helpful in population-based studies. The following …

Experimental studies suggest that prenatal exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals
interferes with developmental processes in the fetal brain. Yet, epidemiological evidence is …

Objective To investigate whether deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation at birth and in
childhood differ by conception using assisted reproductive technologies (ART) or ovulation …

Research suggests that polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) traits (eg, hyperandrogenism)
may create a suboptimal intrauterine environment and induce epigenetic modifications …

Background Novel methodologies to quantify infant exposures to endocrine disrupting
chemicals (EDCs) for population-based studies are needed. Objectives We used newborn …

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) are persistent organic
pollutants which may alter prenatal development, potentially through epigenetic …

Shorter gestational age (GA) is a risk factor of developmental delay. GA is usually estimated
clinically from last menstrual period and ultrasound. DNA methylation (DNAm) estimates GA …

Objective The goal of this study was to determine whether newborn concentrations of
perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), and bisphenol A (BPA) …

Using a population-based birth cohort in upstate New York (2008–2010), we examined the
determinants of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) measured in newborn dried blood …
