Journal ArticleDOI
Early-life lead exposure results in dose- and sex-specific effects on weight and epigenetic gene regulation in weanling mice
TL;DR: Dose- and sex-specific responses in bodyweight and DNA methylation indicate that Pb acts on the epigenome in a locus-specific fashion, dependent on the genomic feature hosting the CpG site of interest, and that sex is a factor in epigenetic response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence and risk factors for vitamin D insufficiency among children with epilepsy
TL;DR: Vitamin D insufficiency was highly prevalent in this unselected population of children with epilepsy, and female sex and increased body mass index were significant risk factors for low vitamin D levels, but antiepileptic drug regimen was not.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perinatal lead (Pb) exposure results in sex-specific effects on food intake, fat, weight, and insulin response across the murine life-course.
Christopher Faulk,Amanda Barks,Brisa N. Sánchez,Zhenzhen Zhang,Olivia S. Anderson,Karen E. Peterson,Dana C. Dolinoy +6 more
TL;DR: Perinatal Pb exposure at blood lead levels between 4.1 µg/dL and 32 µG/dL is associated with increased food intake, body weight, total body fat, energy expenditure, activity, and insulin response in mice and Physiological effects of developmental Pb Exposure persist and vary according to sex and age.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-throughput screening of nanoparticle catalysts made by flame spray pyrolysis as hydrocarbon/NO oxidation catalysts.
B. Weidenhof,M. Reiser,Klaus Stöwe,Wilhelm F. Maier,Min Kim,Jose Azurdia,E. Gulari,E. Seker,Amanda Barks,Richard M. Laine +9 more
TL;DR: The use of liquid-feed flame spray pyrolysis (LF-FSP) to produce high surface area, nonporous, mixed-metal oxide nanopowders that were subsequently subjected to high-throughput screening to assess a set of materials for deNO(x) catalysis and hydrocarbon combustion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal epigenetic drift in mice perinatally exposed to lead.
TL;DR: The presence and magnitude of epigenetic drift was locus-dependent, and enhancement of drift was mediated by perinatal Pb exposure, in some, but not all, loci.
