Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Activity in Patients Receiving Narrowband UVB Therapy Open
Narrowband UVB is used by dermatologists to treat atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Although multimodal in its mechanism of action, the photo-oxidation of L-tryptophan to 6-formylindolo [3,2-b] carbazole, a potent Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor …

Is Medium-term Exposure to Ambient Air Pollution a Risk Factor for Parkinson’s Disease? Open
ObjectivesThis study used Census data from Northern Ireland linked to administrative data on prescriptions between 2010 and 2016, to examine the association between ambient air pollution exposure and the risk of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) on…

Long-term exposure to ambient PM2.5 and population health: evidence from linked census data Open
Particulate matter suspended in the air that is comprised of microscopic particles with a diameter of 2.5μm or less (PM2.5) is among the most impactful pollutants globally. Extensive evidence shows exposure to ambient PM2.5 is associated w…

Prenatal exposure to particulate matter and infant birth outcomes: Evidence from a population‐wide database Open
There are growing concerns about the impact of pollution on maternal and infant health. Despite an extensive correlational literature, observational studies which adopt methods that seek to address potential biases due to unmeasured confou…

Neurobehavioral Mechanisms of Sodium Appetite Open
The objectives of this paper are to first present physiological and ecological aspects of the unique motivational state of sodium appetite, then to focus on systemic physiology and brain mechanisms. I describe how laboratory protocols have…

Is Long-Term Exposure to Ambient Air Pollution a Risk Factor for Parkinson’s Disease. Open
ObjectivesThis paper links prescriptions data for the Northern Ireland population with data from the Northern Ireland Longitudinal Study and localized ambient air pollution data from 2002 onwards to estimate the association between long-te…

Male and female mice show equal variability in food intake across 4-day spans that encompass estrous cycles Open
The exclusion of female rodents from biomedical research is well documented and persists in large part due to perceptions that ovulatory cycles render female traits more variable than those of males, and females must be tested at each of f…

Effect of Food Predictability on Life Span in Male Mice Open
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of unpredictable (U) or predictable (P) food delivery on health and longevity in mice. From 2 months of age until end of life, singly-housed male C57BL/6 mice were fed a semisynthetic diet…

A rodent model of caloric restriction using bone mass, microarchitecture, and stable isotope ratios: implications for revealing chronic food insufficiency in archaeological populations Open
One important question with respect to past health and disease is the identification of patterns of caloric inadequacies. Given the substantial literature (animal and human) linking caloric inadequacy to reduced bone mass, microarchitectur…
