    Abstract : Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women of fertile age. The aetiology of PCOS is not fully understood and might be affected by foetal exposures. Women with PCOS have an increased risk of pregnancy complications, but information on rare severe complications is scarce. READ MORE

  4. 2. Early life environmental exposures and children's growth : A longitudinal study evaluating prenatal exposure for endocrine disrupting chemicals and nutrition in relation to children's growth up to seven years of age

    Author : Katherine Svensson; Carl-Gustaf Bornehag; Sverre Wikström; Chris Gennings; Alicja Wolk; Marie Löf; Karlstads universitet; []

  6. 4. Early life exposures and lung function development

    Author : Björn Lundberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : BACKGROUND: Lung development is a dynamic process, vulnerable to adverse environmental exposures. Starting in utero, development continues postnatally, and although lung structure is mainly set at around two years of age, the maturation process continues into young adulthood. READ MORE

  7. 5. Methodology for hemoglobin adduct measurement : Fetal exposures to acrylamide and other genotoxic agents

    Author : Hans von Stedingk; Margareta Törnqvist; Per Rydberg; Christian Lindh; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; miljökemi; Environmental Chemistry;

    Abstract : There is increasing evidence that exposure to toxic chemicals during the prenatal period constitute a higher health risk than exposure during adulthood. To characterize exposure and identify risk factors, sensitive methods for analysis of chemicals in vivo with biomarker methods are needed. READ MORE
