Journal ArticleDOI
Motor development following in utero exposure to organochlorines: a follow-up study of children aged 5–9 years in Greenland, Ukraine and Poland
Birgit Bjerre Høyer,Cecilia Høst Ramlau-Hansen,Henning S. Pedersen,Katarzyna Góralczyk,Lyubov Chumak,Bo A. G. Jönsson,Jens Peter Bonde,Gunnar Toft +7 more
TL;DR: In utero exposure to CB-153 and p,p′-DDE was not associated with parentally retrospectively assessed developmental milestones in infancy or parentally assessed motor skills at young school age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Birth weight and prenatal exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE): a meta-analysis within 12 European Birth Cohorts
Eva Govarts,Mark J. Nieuwenhuijsen,Greet Schoeters,Greet Schoeters,Ferran Ballester,K. Bloemen,Michielde de Boer,Cécile Chevrier,Cécile Chevrier,Merete Eggesbø,Mònica Guxens,Ursula Krämer,Juliette Legler,David Martinez,Lubica Palkovicova,Evridiki Patelarou,Ulrich Ranft,Arja Rautio,Maria Skaalum Petersen,Rémy Slama,Rémy Slama,Hein Stigum,Gunnar Toft,Tomas Trnovec,Stéphanie Vandentorren,Pal Weihe,Nynke Weisglas Kuperus,Michael Wilhelm,Jürgen Wittsiepe,Jens Peter Bonde +29 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that low-level exposure to PCB (or correlated exposures) impairs fetal growth, but that exposure to p,p´-DDE does not.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is overweight a risk factor for reduced semen quality and altered serum sex hormone profile
Anette Skærbech Aggerholm,Ane Marie Thulstrup,Gunnar Toft,Cecilia Høst Ramlau-Hansen,Jens Peter Bonde +4 more
TL;DR: Findings corroborate earlier findings that overweight and obese men have a markedly changed sex hormone profile in serum, whereas reduction of semen quality, if any, was marginal and below the detection limit of this large study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is smoking a risk factor for decreased semen quality? A cross-sectional analysis
Cecilia Høst Ramlau-Hansen,Ane Marie Thulstrup,Anette Skærbech Aggerholm,Morten Søndergaard Jensen,Gunnar Toft,Jens Peter Bonde +5 more
TL;DR: It would be sensible to advise men to abstain from smoking to avoid decreased fecundity, and a positive dose-response relationship between smoking and testosterone, LH and the LH/free testosterone ratios is found.
Journal ArticleDOI
The epidemiologic evidence linking prenatal and postnatal exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals with male reproductive disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Jens Peter Bonde,Esben Meulengracht Flachs,Susie Rimborg,Clara Helene Glazer,Aleksander Giwercman,Cecilia Høst Ramlau-Hansen,Karin Sørig Hougaard,Birgit Bjerre Høyer,Katia Keglberg Hærvig,Sesilje Bondo Petersen,Lars Rylander,Ina Olmer Specht,Gunnar Toft,Elvira Vaclavik Bräuner +13 more
TL;DR: A systematic literature search for original peer reviewed papers was performed in the databases PubMed and Embase to identify epidemiological studies reporting associations between the outcomes of interest and exposures documented by biochemical analyses of biospecimens including maternal blood or urine, placenta or fat tissue as well as amnion fluid, cord blood or breast milk as mentioned in this paper.
