Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alexa Friedman"
Alexa Friedman’s recent research primarily investigates the neurodevelopmental impacts of environmental metal exposure and endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) among adolescents and women, emphasizing the significance of iron status in modifying these effects.
Her studies highlight the associations between metal mixtures and motor function, attention-related behaviors, and verbal memory in Italian adolescents, showcasing the need for understanding exposure timing and coexposure effects.
