Environmental chemicals impact dog semen quality in vitro and may be associated with a temporal decline in sperm motility and increased cryptorchidism (2016)
Journal Article
Lea, R. G., Byers, A. S., Sumner, R. N., Rhind, S. M., Zhang, Z., Freeman, S. L., …England, G. C. (2016). Environmental chemicals impact dog semen quality in vitro and may be associated with a temporal decline in sperm motility and increased cryptorchidism. Scientific Reports, 6(1), Article 31281. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep31281

Adverse temporal trends in human semen quality and cryptorchidism in infants have been associated with exposure to environmental chemicals (ECs) during development. Here we report that a population of breeding dogs exhibit a 26 year (1988–2014) decli...

The fetal ovary exhibits temporal sensitivity to a ‘real-life’ mixture of environmental chemicals (2016)
Journal Article
Lea, R. G., Amezaga, M. R., Loup, B., Mandon- Pépin, B., Stefansdottir, A., Filis, P., …Fowler, P. . A. (2016). The fetal ovary exhibits temporal sensitivity to a ‘real-life’ mixture of environmental chemicals. Scientific Reports, 6, 22279. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep22279

The development of fetal ovarian follicles is a critical determinant of adult female reproductive competence. Prolonged exposure to environmental chemicals (ECs) can perturb this process with detrimental consequences for offspring. Here we report on...
