Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal and fetal mercury and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids as a risk and benefit of fish consumption to fetus.
TL;DR: Results confirm that both MeHg and DHA which originated from fish consumption transferred from maternal to fetal circulation and existed in the fetal circulation with a positive correlation, thereby balancing the risks and benefits from fish comsumption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurobehavioral effects of prenatal exposure to methylmercury and PCBs, and seafood intake: neonatal behavioral assessment scale results of Tohoku study of child development.
Keita Suzuki,Kunihiko Nakai,Tomoko Sugawara,Tomoyuki Nakamura,Takashi Ohba,Miyuki Shimada,Miyuki Shimada,Toru Hosokawa,Kunihiro Okamura,Takeo Sakai,Naoyuki Kurokawa,Katsuyuki Murata,Chieko Satoh,Hiroshi Satoh +13 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that prenatal exposure to methylmercury adversely affects neonatal neurobehavioral function; in contrast, maternal seafood intake appears to be beneficial.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A possible association between ART and BWS/SRS was found, and a more widespread disruption of genomic imprints after ART was observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of BMI with the β3-Adrenergic Receptor Gene Polymorphism in Japanese: Meta-Analysis
TL;DR: The hypothesis that ADRB3 gene polymorphism is associated with BMI is supported by the results, indicating that variant carriers exhibited higher BMI than did normal homozygous subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlations between mercury concentrations in umbilical cord tissue and other biomarkers of fetal exposure to methylmercury in the Japanese population.
TL;DR: The findings of this study indicate the significance of cord tissue THg and MeHg as biomarkers for fetal exposure to MeHG at parturition in the Japanese population.
