Assessing the relationship between perfluoroalkyl substances, thyroid hormones and binding proteins in pregnant women; a longitudinal mixed effects approach
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-04)
<p>The mechanisms involved in thyroid homeostasis are complex, and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have been indicated to interfere at several levels in this endocrine system. Disruption of the maternal thyroid homeostasis during early pregnancy is of particular concern, where subclinical changes in maternal thyroid hormones (THs) may affect embryonic and foetal development.</p>

Estimating Time-Varying PCB Exposures Using Person-Specific Predictions to Supplement Measured Values: A Comparison of Observed and Predicted Values in Two Cohorts of Norwegian Women
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015)
Background: Studies on the health effects of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) call for an
understanding of past and present human exposure. Time-resolved mechanistic models may
supplement information on concentrations in individuals obtained from measurements and/or
statistical approaches if they can be shown to reproduce empirical data.
<p>Objectives: Here, we evaluated the capability of one ...
