Background
Everyday, humans are exposed to a mixture of environmental chemicals some of which have endocrine and/or metabolism disrupting actions which may contribute to non-communicable diseases. The adverse health impacts of real-world chemical ex...

Endocannabinoid metabolism inhibition has no effect on spontaneous fear recovery or extinction resistance in Lister hooded rats (2022)
Journal Article
Warren, W. G., Papagianni, E. P., Hale, E., Brociek, R. A., Cassaday, H. J., & Stevenson, C. W. (2022). Endocannabinoid metabolism inhibition has no effect on spontaneous fear recovery or extinction resistance in Lister hooded rats. Frontiers in Pharmacology, 13, Article 1082760. https://doi.org/10.3389/fphar.2022.1082760

Endocannabinoid transmission is emerging as a target for treating anxiety-related disorders, given its regulation of fear extinction. Boosting anandamide levels via inhibition of its metabolism by fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) can enhance extinct...

Periconceptional biomarkers for maternal obesity: a systematic review (2022)
Journal Article
Hojeij, B., Rousian, M., Sinclair, K. D., Dinnyes, A., Steegers-Theunissen, R. P., & Schoenmakers, S. (2023). Periconceptional biomarkers for maternal obesity: a systematic review. Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders, 24(2), 139-175. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11154-022-09762-5

Periconceptional maternal obesity is linked to adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Identifying periconceptional biomarkers of pathways affected by maternal obesity can unravel pathophysiologic mechanisms and identify individuals at risk of advers...

Childhood environment influences epigenetic age and methylation concordance of a CpG clock locus in British-Bangladeshi migrants (2022)
Journal Article
Stöger, R., Choi, M., Begum, K., Leeman, G., Emes, R. D., Melamed, P., & Bentley, G. R. (2023). Childhood environment influences epigenetic age and methylation concordance of a CpG clock locus in British-Bangladeshi migrants. Epigenetics, 18(1), Article 2153511. https://doi.org/10.1080/15592294.2022.2153511

Migration from one location to another often comes with a change in environmental conditions. Here, we analysed features of DNA methylation in young, adult British-Bangladeshi women who experienced different environments during their childhoods: a) m...

Alfaxalone population pharmacokinetics in the rat: Model application for pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic design in inbred and outbred strains and sexes (2022)
Journal Article
White, K., Aldurdunji, M., Harris, J., Ortori, C., & Paine, S. (2022). Alfaxalone population pharmacokinetics in the rat: Model application for pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic design in inbred and outbred strains and sexes. Pharmacology Research and Perspectives, 10(6), Article e01031. https://doi.org/10.1002/prp2.1031

The translation of new injectable anaesthetic drugs from rodent to humans remains slow, despite the realisation that reliance on the volatile agents is unsustainable from an environmental perspective. The aim of this study was to investigate the infl...

We examined the anti-acanthamoebic efficacy of green tea Camellia sinensis solvent extract (SE) or its chemical constituents against Acanthamoeba castellanii by using anti-trophozoite, anti-encystation, and anti-excystation assays. C. sinensis SE (62... Read More about Camellia sinensis solvent extract, epigallocatechin gallate and caffeine confer trophocidal and cysticidal effects against Acanthamoeba castellanii.

Cannabidiol Prevents Spontaneous Fear Recovery after Extinction and Ameliorates Stress-Induced Extinction Resistance (2022)
Journal Article

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 23(16), Article 9333. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms23169333

Cannabidiol, the main non-psychotropic constituent of cannabis, has potential as a treatment for anxiety-related disorders since it reduces learned fear expression and enhances fear extinction. The return of fear over time after successful extinction... Read More about Cannabidiol Prevents Spontaneous Fear Recovery after Extinction and Ameliorates Stress-Induced Extinction Resistance.
