• Pregnancy-specific stress, prenatal health behaviors, and birth outcomes. (2008, background): “Preterm delivery ( 37 weeks) and low birth weight ( 2,500g) are leading causes of infant mortality, infant morbidity, and health problems that may persist into childhood, adolescence and adulthood (Barker, 2007; Goldenberg et al., 1996; Hack & Merkatz, 1995; Mathews & MacDorman, 2006; Newnham, 1998;”

• Cell Biology of Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury (2012, background): “Barker and his group (Barker, 1995; 2007) demonstrated that decreasing birth weights over the range from 9 to 5 pounds was associated with increased mortality from ischemic disease in adults.”
• Epigenetics and gene expression (2010, background): “Such long-term changes in gene expression patterns represent an attractive molecular basis for the hypothesis that the origin of adult disease lies in environmental exposure events during an individual’s pre- or post-natal development (Barker, 2007; Heijmans et al., 2008; Szyf, 2009b).”
