Profile of urinary arsenic metabolites during pregnancy
(US DEPT HEALTH HUMAN SCIENCES PUBLIC HEALTH SCIENCE, 2003)
Chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic (In-As) from drinking water is associated with different health effects, including skin, lung, bladder, and kidney cancer as well as vascular and possibly reproductive effects. In-As ...
As3MT and GST Polymorphisms Influencing Arsenic Metabolism in Human Exposure to Drinking Groundwater
(MDPI, 2020)
The urinary arsenic metabolites may vary among individuals and the genetic factors have been reported to explain part of the variation. We assessed the influence of polymorphic variants of Arsenic-3-methyl-transferase and ...
As3MT and GST polymorphisms influencing arsenic metabolism in human Exposure to drinking groundwater
(MDPI, 2020)
The urinary arsenic metabolites may vary among individuals and the genetic factors have been reported to explain part of the variation. We assessed the influence of polymorphic variants of Arsenic-3-methyl-transferase and ...
Chronic Arsenic Toxicity: Statistical Study of the Relationships Between Urinary Arsenic, Selenium and Antimony
(Blacksmith Institute, 2012-06)
Background: The groundwater of Argentina’s Chaco plain presents arsenic levels above those suitable for human consumption. Studies suggest skin disorders among local populations caused by arsenic intake. The relationship ...
Enrichment of arsenic transforming and resistant heterotrophic bacteria from sediments of two salt lakes in Northern Chile
(Springer Tokyo, 2012-05)
Microbial populations are involved in the arsenic biogeochemical cycle in catalyzing arsenic transformations and playing indirect roles. To investigate which ecotypes among the diverse microbial communities could have a ...
Polymorphism of Glutathione S-Transferase (GST) Variants and Its Effect on Distribution of Urinary Arsenic Species in People Exposed to Low Inorganic Arsenic in Tap Water: An Exploratory Study
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-07-09)
Glutathione S-tranferases (GST) are multigenic enzymes that have been associated with
arsenic metabolism. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between polymorphic
variants of GST and urinary ...
Arsenic exposure, profiles of urinary arsenic species, and polymorphism effects of glutathione-s-transferase and metallothioneins
(Elsevier Ltd, 2018)
© 2018 Elsevier Ltd This study assessed the effects of polymorphic variants of gutathione-S-transferase and metallothioneins on profiles of urinary arsenic species. Drinking groundwater from Margarita and San Fernando, ...
Total Urinary Arsenic and Inorganic Arsenic Concentrations and Birth Outcomes in Pregnant Women of Tacna, Peru: A Cross-Sectional Study
(Springer, 2020)
Inorganic arsenic exposure has been linked to the development of several health conditions, including adverse birth outcomes; and around 150 million of people worldwide are exposed to levels above the WHO suggested limit ...
Analysis of co-regulated abundance of genes associated with arsenic and phosphate metabolism in Andean Microbial Ecosystems
(bioRxiv.org, 2019-12)
Phosphate and arsenate are very similar compounds, and there is great interest in studying their relationship and their interaction with biological systems. Despite having no apparent biological function, specific genes ...
Haloarchaea from the Andean Puna: Biological Role in the Energy Metabolism of Arsenic
(Springer, 2018-10)
Biofilms, microbial mats, and microbialites dwell under highly limiting conditions (high salinity, extreme aridity, pH, and elevated arsenic concentration) in the Andean Puna. Only recent pioneering studies have described ...
