đź“„ A recent PROTECT study led by Project 1 trainee Ram Siwakoti underscores the complex impact of phthalate exposure on maternal and fetal metabolism, highlighting metabolomics as a tool for understanding associated biological processes. Read the paper: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39353139/

A PROTECT study led by trainee Ram Siwakoti shows that exposure to certain PFAS during pregnancy is linked w/ oxidative stress, highlighting the need for broader investigation into PFAS-related alterations of inflammatory processes during pregnancy: 🔗sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
