Title: “Sulfate deficiency and adverse neurodevelopment”

Abstract:

Sulfate is an obligate nutrient for brain development and is supplied from mother to fetus throughout pregnancy, particularly from mid-pregnancy when fetal growth is maximal. Paul’s research is investigating the consequences of sulfate deficiency on growth and development in animal models and humans, as well as the potential neuroprotective benefit of sulfate supplementation.
