Prenatal exposure to phenols and benzophenones in relation to markers of male reproductive function in adulthood [PDF]
IntroductionEnvironmental exposure during fetal life may disrupt testicular development. In humans, a limited number of studies have investigated whether these adverse effects persist into adulthood. Using data from a prospective, population-based birth cohort study, The Copenhagen Mother-Child cohort, the objective was to assess if there is an ...

Molecular Genetic Influences on Normative and Problematic Alcohol Use in a Population-Based Sample of College Students [PDF]
Background: Genetic factors impact alcohol use behaviors and these factors may become increasingly evident during emerging adulthood. Examination of the effects of individual variants as well as aggregate genetic variation can clarify mechanisms ...

Differential SLC6A4 methylation: a predictive epigenetic marker of adiposity from birth to adulthood [PDF]
The early life environment may influence susceptibility to obesity and metabolic disease in later life through epigenetic processes. SLC6A4 is an important mediator of serotonin bioavailability, and has a key role in energy balance. We tested the hypothesis that methylation of the SLC6A4 gene predicts adiposity across the life course.DNA methylation at

Face identity recognition (FIR) in humans is supported by specialized neural processes whose function is spectacularly impaired when simply turning a face upside-down: the face inversion effect (FIE). While the FIE appears to have a slow developmental course, little is known about the plasticity of the neural processes involved in this effect—and in ...

Childhood immuno-metabolic markers and risk of depression and psychosis in adulthood: A prospective birth cohort study [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundMetabolic and inflammatory disorders commonly co-occur with depression and psychosis, with emerging evidence implicating immuno-metabolic dysfunction in their aetiology. Previous studies have reported metabolic dysfunction and inflammation in adults with depression and psychosis.
