Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Normand Podechard"
- Normand Podechard's recent research focuses on the impact of environmental pollutants, particularly endocrine disruptors and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons like benzo[a]pyrene, on human health, with a special emphasis on metabolic diseases such as NAFLD and obesity.
- His studies employ various methodologies including small RNA sequencing and in vivo bioassays using zebrafish to investigate how these pollutants influence gene regulation and cellular functions, leading to adverse health effects.
- Podechard also emphasizes the necessity for better screening methods and biological assays for detecting endocrine disruptors and their effects, pointing out the limitations of existing models and advocating for more accurate validation processes.
