  • Biomarkers of Lead Exposure and DNA Methylation within Retrotransposons
    Wright, Robert O.; Schwartz, Joel; Wright, Rosalind J.; Bollati, Valentina; Tarantini, Letizia; Park, Sung Kyun; Hu, Howard; Sparrow, David; Vokonas, Pantel; Baccarelli, Andrea (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2010-06)
    BACKGROUND. DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark that regulates gene expression. Changes in DNA methylation within white blood cells may result from cumulative exposure to environmental metals such as lead. Bone lead, a ...
  • Cumulative Community-Level Lead Exposure and Pulse Pressure: The Normative Aging Study
    Perlstein, Todd; Weuve, Jennifer; Schwartz, Joel; Sparrow, David; Wright, Robert; Litonjua, Augusto; Nie, Huiling; Hu, Howard (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2007-12)
    BACKGROUND. Pulse pressure increases with age in industrialized societies as a manifestation of arterial stiffening. Lead accumulates in the vasculature and is associated with vascular oxidative stress, which can promote ...
  • Cumulative Lead Exposure and Tooth Loss in Men: The Normative Aging Study
