Environmental exposures during pregnancy: Mechanistic effects on immunity.

abstract：BACKGROUND:A cardinal feature of prenatal ethanol exposure is CNS damage, resulting in a continuum of neurological and behavioral impairments that are described by the term fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). FASDs are variable and depend on several factors, including the amount, timing, and duration of prenatal e...
