Effects of Periconception Cadmium and Mercury Co-Administration to Mice on Indices of Chronic Disease in Male Offspring at Maturity
Conclusions: Results suggest administration of cadmium and mercury to female mice during early development of their offspring (which in this study is the periconception period) was associated with anxiety-like behavior, altered glucose metabolism and insulin resistance in male offspring at adulthood.

Serum Metabolomic Profiles in Neonatal Mice following Oral Brominated Flame Retardant Exposures to Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) Alpha, Gamma, and Commercial Mixture
Conclusions: We demonstrate that four days following a single neonatal oral exposure to α-, γ-, and CM-HBCD results in different serum metabolomic profiles, indicating stereoisomer- and mixture-specific effects and possible mechanisms of action.

Combined Effects of in Utero and Adolescent Tobacco Smoke Exposure on Lung Function in C57Bl/6J Mice
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that prenatal and adolescent CS exposure have a synergistic effect on lung function in mice. The combined effect did not appear to be a consequence of early pulmonary senescence.

Sex-Specific Associations between Particulate Matter Exposure and Gene Expression in Independent Discovery and Validation Cohorts of Middle-Aged Men and Women
Conclusions: Expression of the sex-specific candidate genes identified in the discovery population predicted PM10 exposure in an independent cohort of adults from the same area. Confirmation in other populations may further support this as a new approach for exposure assessment, and may contribute to the discovery of molecular mechanisms for PM-induced health effects.
