Stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) improves the cardinal features of Parkinson disease (PD). However, its efficacy on gait disorders is less satisfying in the long term. In recent years, the pedunculopontine (PPN) nucleus has emerged as a possible promising deep brain stimulation target for gait disorders in PD.

Maternal fine particulate matter exposure, polymorphism in xenobiotic-metabolizing genes and offspring birth weight.

Reprod Toxicol

December 2010

INSERM and University J. Fourier Grenoble, Avenir Team Environmental Epidemiology Applied to Fecundity and Reproduction, U823, Institut Albert Bonniot, BP 170 La Tronche, Grenoble, France.

We aimed to describe if polymorphisms in xenobiotics-metabolizing genes modify the effect of maternal exposure to fine particulate matter (PM(2.5)) on offspring birth weight. Among newborns from LISA cohort, we tested if polymorphisms of GSTT1, GSTP1, GSTM1, and CYP2D6 genes modified the effect measure of PM(2.

Maternal personal exposure to airborne benzene and intrauterine growth.

Environ Health Perspect

August 2009

Inserm, Institut national de la santé et de la recherché médicale, University J Fourier Grenoble, Avenir Team Environmental Epidemiology Applied to Fecundity and Reproduction, U823, Institut Albert Bonniot, Grenoble, France.

Background: Studies relying on outdoor pollutants measures have reported associations between air pollutants and birth weight.

Objective: Our aim was to assess the relation between maternal personal exposure to airborne benzene during pregnancy and fetal growth.

Methods: We recruited pregnant women in two French maternity hospitals in 2005-2006 as part of the EDEN mother-child cohort.
