Developmental programming: Preconceptional and gestational exposure of sheep to a real-life environmental chemical mixture alters maternal metabolome in a fetal sex-specific manner (2022)
Journal Article

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...

Developmental exposure to real-life environmental chemical mixture programs a testicular dysgenesis syndrome-like phenotype in prepubertal lambs (2022)
Journal Article
Elcombe, C. S., Monteiro, A., Elcombe, M. R., Ghasemzadeh-Hasankolaei, M., Sinclair, K. D., Lea, R., …Bellingham, M. (2022). Developmental exposure to real-life environmental chemical mixture programs a testicular dysgenesis syndrome-like phenotype in prepubertal lambs. Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology, 94, Article 103913. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.etap.2022.103913

Current declines in male reproductive health may, in part, be driven by anthropogenic environmental chemical (EC) exposure. Using a biosolids treated pasture (BTP) sheep model, this study examined the effects of gestational exposure to a translationa...

Ovine fetal testis stage-specific sensitivity to environmental chemical mixtures (2022)
Journal Article
Lea, R. G., Mandon-Pépin, B., Loup, B., Poumerol, E., Jouneau, L., Egbowon, B. F., …Sinclair, K. D. (2022). Ovine fetal testis stage-specific sensitivity to environmental chemical mixtures. Reproduction, 163(2), 119-131. https://doi.org/10.1530/REP-21-0235

Exposure of the fetal testis to numerous individual environmental chemicals (ECs) is frequently associated with dysregulated development, leading to impaired adult reproductive competence. However, 'real-life' exposure involves complex mixtures of EC... Read More about Ovine fetal testis stage-specific sensitivity to environmental chemical mixtures.
