A simplified precise method for adjusting serum levels of persistent organohalogen pollutants to total serum lipids.
In order to obtain biomarker values that reflect body burden of persistent organohalogen pollutants (POP), concentrations of lipophilic POP in serum or plasma are generally expressed on a lipid weight basis, and not on a fresh weight basis. There are two different approaches to determine the lipid content in serum and plasma. The gravimetric determination is more expensive, and longer experienc...
متن کاملSerum Persistent Organic Pollutants
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are manmade organic chemicals that remain in the environment for years or decades. POPs are of special concern because they often remain toxic for decades or longer after release to the environment. The more persistent a toxic chemical is, the greater the probability for human exposure over time. Because they circulate globally long after being released into...
متن کاملRelationship Between Addiction to Opium and the Levels of Lipids in Human Serum
SUMMARY In order to investigate the relationship between addiction to opium and the levels of lipids in human serum. This project was carried out in Tehran in the year 1373/1994. 55 opium addicts and 70 non-addicts (controls) were examined for the levels of cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL -C and LDL-C. The samples and the controls were all matched and the only difference was that the samples w...
متن کاملA simplified method for the estimation of total cholesterol in serum and demonstration of its specificity.
The determination of total cholesterol in serum has assumed an added significance in recent years because of the possible implication of cholesterol in the etiology of arteriosclerosis. There is need for a method that is sufficiently flexible to yield equally good results in clinical laboratories where only occasional analyses are made and in research laboratories where highly trained personnel...
متن کاملReproductive Hormone Levels in Men Exposed to Persistent Organohalogen Pollutants: A Study of Inuit and Three European Cohorts
OBJECTIVE Persistent organohalogen pollutant (POP) exposure may have a negative impact on reproductive function. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of POP exposure on the male hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis. PARTICIPANTS Participants included 184 Swedish fishermen and spouses of pregnant women from Greenland (n = 258), Warsaw, Poland (n = 113) , and Kharkiv, Ukraine (n =...
