Persistent organic pollutants have not been conclusively associated with length of gestation or preterm birth. Chlordecone is an organochlorine pesticide that has extensively used to control the banana root borer population in French West Indies. Data from Timoun Mother–Child Cohort Study conducted Guadeloupe between 2004 and 2007 were examine associations chlordecone concentrations maternal plasma rate birth 818 pregnant women. analyzed using multivariate linear regression for a Cox model...
Abstract Background Recent studies suggest that a M editerranean dietary pattern during pregnancy may influence outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect adherence diet ( MD ) on fetal growth restriction FGR and preterm delivery PTD in F rench C aribbean island where population is largely A frican descent presents patterns similar . Methods Using data from TIMOUN Mother–Child Cohort Study conducted G uadeloupe W est I ndies) between 2004 2007, we analysed for 728 pregnant...
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent environmental pollutants that preferentially accumulate in lipid-rich tissues of contaminated organisms. Although the adipose tissue constitutes a major intern reservoir PCBs and recent epidemiological studies associate to development obesity its related disorders, little is known about mechanisms involved their uptake by intracellular localization fat cells.We have examined distribution mouse cultured adipocytes tested potential involvement...
Chlordecone is an organochlorine pesticide that was extensively used in the French West Indies to fight weevils banana plantations from 1973 1993. This has led a persistent pollution of environment and contamination local population for several decades with effects demonstrated on human health. accumulates mainly liver where it known potentiate action hepatotoxic agents. However, there currently no information its situ localization liver. We have thus evaluated matrix-assisted laser...
Cannibalism among embryos and larvae of Brycon moorei (Characidae) occurs during daytime night‐time, persists under permanent darkness. Embryos dorada provisioned with formulated feed over the first week exogenous feeding did not survive, except for those exerting cannibalism. When oered alternative fish prey [embryos Prochilodus magdalenae (0·5–0·8 mg) Oreochromis niloticus (9·10 mg)], 1‐day‐old preferred preying on these, thereby reducing early However, this promoted depensatory growth...
Exposure to environmental pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) is now taken into account partly explain the worldwide decline of amphibians. PCBs induce deleterious effects on developing amphibians including deformities and delays in metamorphosis. However, molecular mechanisms by which they express their toxicity during development tadpoles are still largely unknown. A proteomics analysis was performed Xenopus laevis exposed from 2 5 days postfertilization either 0.1 or 1 ppm...
Many studies have reported perturbations of mollusc reproduction following exposure to low concentrations (ng/L range) endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). However, the mechanisms action these molecules on molluscs are still poorly understood. Investigation modifications protein expression in organisms exposed using proteomic methods can provide a broader and more comprehensive understanding adverse impacts pollution than conventional biochemical biomarkers (e.g., heat-shock proteins,...
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are toxic, ubiquitous, resist breakdown, bioaccumulate in living tissue, and biomagnify food webs. POPs can also alter energy balance humans wildlife. Marine mammals experience high POP concentrations, but consequences for their tissue metabolic characteristics unknown. We used blubber explants from wild, gray seal (Halichoerus grypus) pups to examine impacts of intrinsic burden acute experimental exposure on adipose characteristics. Glucose use, lactate...
