Dietary and supplemental maternal methyl-group donor intake and cord blood DNA methylation

Epigenetics, 2017
Maternal nutrition is critically involved in the development and health of the fetus. We evaluated maternal methyl-group donor intake through diet (methionine, betaine, choline, folate) and supplementation (folic acid) before and during pregnancy in ...

Dietary exposures, epigenetics and pubertal tempo [PDF]

Environmental Epigenetics, 2019
Gene expression changes mediated by DNA methylation may play a role in pubertal tempo regulation, and availability of methyl donor nutrients affects these pathways. We examined first trimester maternal and adolescent diet patterns that may be associated with DNA methylation at long interspersed nucleotide (LINE-1) repetitive elements in adolescence ...

Dietary Exposures to Selected Metals and Pesticides [PDF]

Environmental Health Perspectives, 1996
Average daily dietary exposures to 11 contaminants were estimated for approximately 120,000 U.S. adults by combining data on annual diet, as measured by a food frequency questionnaire, with contaminant residue data for table-ready foods that were collected as part of the annual U.S. Food and Drug Administration Total Diet Study.

U.S. dietary exposures to heterocyclic amines* [PDF]

Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology, 2001
Heterocyclic amines (HAs) formed in fried, broiled or grilled meats are potent mutagens that increase rates of colon, mammary, prostate and other cancers in bioassay rodents. Studies of how human dietary HA exposures may affect cancer risks have so far relied on fairly crudely defined HA-exposure categories.
