Epigenetic Mechanisms in Childhood Obesity

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1553, Issue 1, Page 112-123, November 2025.
Abstract Epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation, histone modification, and activity of noncoding RNAs (nc RNAs), affect the regulation of gene expression. These mechanisms are regulated by numerous environmental factors and are critical at specific windows of biological development, when organs and systems plasticity is increased.

Polybrominated Biphenyl Exposure and Menstrual Cycle Function

Epidemiology, 2019
Background: Brominated flame retardants, including polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), are persistent compounds reported to affect sex hormones in animals; less is known about potential effects in humans. An industrial accident in 1973–1974 exposed Michigan residents to PBB through contaminated food.

Micropollutants and Their Interactions With Relevant Environmental Viruses

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2025.
Environmental micropollutants increase virus stability. ABSTRACT Emerging pollutants encompass a diverse array of chemicals classified as micropollutants, including pharmaceuticals and microplastics (MPs). Viruses are known to adsorb onto MPs, including binding to bacterial biofilms that form the plastisphere.

Polybrominated Biphenyls in Chicken Eggs vs. Hatchability

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1978
SummaryA relationship between polybrominated biphenyl, Firemaster FF-1 (FF-1), in the diet, and eggs, as monitored by hexahromobiphenyl (6-BB), and embryo toxicity, as measured by hatchability, were examined. The minimum dietary level of FF-1 for an effect on hatchability was estimated at 42 ppm, which produced an egg residue estimated at 65.9 ppm 6-BB.
