© 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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

A Study was done on the influence of redox potential on the mobility and availability of the various arsenic chemical forms in a Mollisol soil from central Chile amended with biosolid. Arsenic availability was strongly ...

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 ...

Interspecific differences in arsenic bioaccumulation and organ distribution (muscle, liver, kidney and gills) in three predator fish (creole perch, rainbow trout and brown trout) from a Patagonian lake impacted by volcanic ...

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 ...

The Codex Alimentarius has established a 200 μg kg-1 limit of iAs in polished rice grain, while the Argentine Food Code, in accordance with the Mercado Común del Sur (Mercosur), has set an advisory level of 300 μg kg-1 of ...

The inorganic fraction of arsenic species, iAs�=�∑[As(III)�+�As(V)] present in fish samples can be quantified in the presence of other arsenic species also found in fishes, such as: monomethylarsonic acid (MMA), ...
