Among 951 subjects with ALD, advanced FIB was associated with lead and cadmium (OR, 3.46, 95% CI, 1.84–6.53; OR, 8.50, 95% CI, 2.54–28.42, respectively), but not with mercury. The effect estimates for lead and cadmium remained significant even after adjustment for daily alcohol intake.
Soil contamination is associated with a high potential for health issues. This study aimed to investigate the bioaccumulation of heavy metals and its associated health impact among residents near a mining area. We performed environmental monitoring by analyzing lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and arsenic (As) levels in soil and rice samples, as …
Exposure to lead and cadmium has been associated with type 2 diabetes, but the results are largely inconsistent, and little is known about their joint effect. We aimed to investigate the associations of lead and cadmium co-exposure with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and type 2 diabetes.
The results of this cross-sectional human health survey suggest that the immunological effects of lead and cadmium toxicity may be associated with an increased susceptibility to chronic infections. Experimental animal studies, in vitro experiments, and clinical assessments have shown that metal toxicity can impair immune responses. ...
The results of the study showed that the concentrations of Cd and Pb among all analyzed fruit samples (n = 242) were below the associated LOQs in only 87 and 96 samples, respectively. Similarly ...
Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) are metals that have no biologic role in humans [1,2,3,4]. All of their perceptible effects are toxic [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]. Indeed, Cd and …
Consumer Reports testing also found too high levels of lead based on California's MADL of 0.5 micrograms in the following bars:. Tony's Chocolonely Dark Chocolate 70% Cocoa: with lead levels ...
Unraveling the environmental risk factors associated with RHTN may shed light on future interventional targets aimed at reducing its incidence. ... we examined the association of blood lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and mercury (Hg) with RHTN using a multinomial logistic regression model.
