(author), Guxens, M. (author), Trasande, L. (author), Jaddoe, V.W.V. (author), Ferguson, K.K. (author)BACKGROUND: Prenatal exposure to mixtures of nonpersistent chemicals is universal. Most studies examining these chemicals in association with fetal growth have been restricted to single exposure models, ignoring their potentially cumulative impact. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to assess the association between prenatal exposure to a mixture of phthalates...article 2021

Rosman, A.N. (author), Guijt, A. (author), Vlemmix, F. (author), Rijnders, M. (author), Mol, B.W.J. (author), Kok, M. (author)Objective. External cephalic version (ECV) is a safe and effective intervention that can prevent breech delivery, thus reducing the need for cesarean delivery. It is recommended in national guidelines. These guidelines also mention contraindications for ECV, and thereby restrict the application of ECV. We assessed whether the formulation of...article 2013

(author)The effect of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-6 PUFAs) on adipogenesis and obesity is controversial. Using in vitro cell culture models, we show that n-6 PUFAs was pro-adipogenic under conditions with base-line levels of cAMP, but anti-adipogenic when the levels of cAMP were elevated. The anti-adipogenic action of n-6 PUFAs was dependent on a...article 2008
