Cannabinoid exposure and altered DNA methylation in rat and human sperm.
(Epigenetics, 2018-01)Little is known about the reproductive effects of paternal cannabis exposure. We evaluated associations between cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) exposure and altered DNA methylation in sperm from humans and ... -
Cannabis use is associated with potentially heritable widespread changes in autism candidate gene DLGAP2 DNA methylation in sperm.
(Epigenetics, 2020-01)Parental cannabis use has been associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in offspring, but how such phenotypes are transmitted is largely unknown. Using reduced representation bisulphite sequencing (RRBS), we recently ... -
DNA Methylation in Babies Born to Nonsmoking Mothers Exposed to Secondhand Smoke during Pregnancy: An Epigenome-Wide Association Study.
(Environmental health perspectives, 2021-05-19)<h4>Background</h4>Maternal smoking during pregnancy is related to altered DNA methylation in infant umbilical cord blood. The extent to which low levels of smoke exposure among nonsmoking pregnant women relates to offspring ... -

Refraining from use diminishes cannabis-associated epigenetic changes in human sperm.
(Environmental epigenetics, 2021-01)Cannabis use alters sperm DNA methylation, but the potential reversibility of these changes is unknown. Semen samples from cannabis users and non-user controls were collected at baseline and again following a 77-day period ... -
Validation of the Sleep Regularity Index in Older Adults and Associations with Cardiometabolic Risk.
(Scientific reports, 2018-09-21)Sleep disturbances, including insufficient sleep duration and circadian misalignment, confer risk for cardiometabolic disease. Less is known about the association between the regularity of sleep/wake schedules and cardiometabolic ...
