Sexually dimorphic impact of preconceptional and gestational exposure to a real-life environmental chemical mixture (biosolids) on offspring growth dynamics and puberty in sheep (2023)
Journal Article
Evans, N. P., Bellingham, M., Elcombe, C. S., Ghasemzadeh-Hasankolaei, M., Lea, R. G., Sinclair, K. D., & Padmanabhan, V. (2023). Sexually dimorphic impact of preconceptional and gestational exposure to a real-life environmental chemical mixture (biosolids) on offspring growth dynamics and puberty in sheep. Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology, 102, Article 104257. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.etap.2023.104257

Humans are ubiquitously exposed to complex mixtures of environmental chemicals (ECs). This study characterised changes in post-natal and peripubertal growth, and the activation of the reproductive axis, in male and female offspring of sheep exposed t...

Developmental exposure to a real-life environmental chemical mixture alters testicular transcription factor expression in neonatal and pre-pubertal rams, with morphological changes persisting into adulthood (2023)
Journal Article
Elcombe, C. S., Monteiro, A., Ghasemzadeh-Hasankolaei, M., Padmanabhan, V., Lea, R., Sinclair, K. D., …Bellingham, M. (2023). Developmental exposure to a real-life environmental chemical mixture alters testicular transcription factor expression in neonatal and pre-pubertal rams, with morphological changes persisting into adulthood. Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology, 100, Article 104152. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.etap.2023.104152

Environmental chemical (EC) exposure may be impacting male reproductive health. The translationally relevant biosolids treated pasture (BTP) sheep model was used to investigate gestational low-level EC mixture exposure on the testes of F1 male offspr...

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
Thangaraj, S. V., Kachman, M., Halloran, K. M., Sinclair, K. D., Lea, R., Bellingham, M., …Padmanabhan, V. (2023). Developmental programming: Preconceptional and gestational exposure of sheep to a real-life environmental chemical mixture alters maternal metabolome in a fetal sex-specific manner. Science of the Total Environment, 864, Article 161054. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.161054

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.
