Research indicates that our health and the health of our children
may be influenced by nutritional factors. One important factor seems to be the
essential trace element zinc.
Therefore, the Cellular Neurobiology & Neuro-Nanotechnology lab
of the Department of Biological Sciences at University of Limerick has launched
a nationwide study to investigate effects of nutritional profiles on pregnancy.
Research participants can be females in Ireland with one or more
children, who lived during their pregnancy in Ireland.
The study procedures
involve completing a Food Frequency Questionnaire.
