A longitudinal examination of perinatal testosterone, estradiol and vitamin D as predictors of handedness outcomes in childhood and adolescence

The developmental origins of handedness remain elusive, though very early emergence suggests individual differences manifesting in utero could play an important role. Prenatal testosterone and Vitamin D exposure are considered, yet findings and interpretations remain equivocal.

A Gender Lens on User Quality Ratings From Young Teenagers Assessing the Sun Safe App: Comparing Responses From Co-researchers and Participants of Pilot Intervention Studies

We developed the iOS smartphone app Sun Safe to support healthy sun practices in young teenagers (aged 12-13 years). The production involved co-design with young co-researchers (ie, aged 12-13 years) with a health message of using sun protection when the UV index is ≥3. Important features include real-time and location-specific weather data on the UV index and gamified educational content.

Molecular actions of Vitamin D in reproductive cell biology

The aim of this work is to review current metabolic and molecular aspects of the VitD-VitD receptor axis in reproductive medicine

Predictors of vitamin D-containing supplement use in the Australian population and associations between dose and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations

The prevalence of vitamin D-containing supplement use was generally low in the Australian population, particularly for single vitamin D supplements

Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations and cardiometabolic risk factors in adolescents and young adults

Associations between serum 25(OH)D concentrations and cardiometabolic risk factors from adolescence to young adulthood in the Raine Study

Self-Reported Changes in Sun-Protection Behaviors at Different Latitudes in Australia

The strongest determinants of self-reported sun-protection behavior changes due to concerns about vitamin D were attitudes and location

Heat-mediated reduction of apoptosis in UVB-damaged keratinocytes in vitro and in human skin ex vivo

UVB-induced p53-mediated cell cycle arrest and apoptosis are reduced in the presence of heat stress, leading to increased survival of DNA damaged cells

Tightrope walking: Using predictors of 25 (OH)D concentration based on multivariable linear regression to infer associations with health risks

The approach of predicted 25 (OH)D concentration derived from multivariable linear regression may be valid..

Analytical bias in the measurement of serum 25-hydroxyVitamin D concentrations impairs assessment of Vitamin D status

This publication demonstrated considerable differences in the measurement of 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations compared with a certified laboratory, even...

Maternal vitamin D deficiency alters fetal brain development in the BALB/c mouse.

Prenatal exposure to vitamin D is thought to be critical for optimal fetal neurodevelopment, yet vitamin D deficiency is apparent in a growing proportion of...
