“Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) exposure, maternal metabolomic perturbation, and fetal growth in African American women: A meet-in-the-middle approach”

HERCULES Investigators Drs. Dana Barr, Barry Ryan, Parinya Panuwet, Carmen Marsit, and Donghai Liang recently published a paper in Environmental International on using high-resolution metabolomics and meet-in-the-middle-approach to study per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) exposure, maternal metabolomic perturbation, and fetal growth in the Atlanta African American Maternal-Child cohort. This study reveals the metabolic perturbations and potential molecular mechanisms underlying the association between PFAS exposure and fetal growth among pregnant African American women.
