Samples of our work together

The effect of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) exposure in utero was looked in mouse testis. PUFAs were quantitated as well as their metabolites, showing the formation of furanic compounds under high oxygen tension.

 

See publication 52 about this work.

 

First report of alpha-linolenic acid peroxidation into furanic metabolites, named phytofurans. Phytofurans were highlighted for the first time in seeds (Pine, Walnut, Chia, Flax), by LC/MS-MS.

The discovery of the peroxidation of adrenic acid (AdA) in the brain of pre-term pig, by LC/MS-MS quantitation of AdA metabolites named dihomo-Isofurans.

 

Dihomo-Isofurans and Neurofurans were also quantitated in the heart and brain of rats.
