متن کاملPersistent organic pollutants as risk factors for type 2 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major and fast growing public health problem. Although obesity is considered to be the main driver of the pandemic of T2DM, a possible contribution of some environmental contaminants, of which persistent organic pollutants (POPs) form a particular class, has been suggested. POPs are organic compounds that are resistant to environmental degradation through ch...

متن کاملExtended analyses of the association between serum concentrations of persistent organic pollutants and diabetes.
W e recently reported on serum concentrations of six persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and prevalence of diabetes in a random U.S. sample (1). Most previous epidemiological studies were restricted from studying several POPs given cost and serum amounts needed. Focus on selected POPs may be appropriate in occupational or accidental high exposure, but, in the general population with only backg...
متن کاملPersistent Organic Pollutants and Obesity-Related Metabolic Dysfunction: Focusing on Type 2 Diabetes
Even though obesity is a well-established risk factor of type 2 diabetes, there is emerging evidence that persistent organic pollutants (POPs), a variety of lipophilic chemicals accumulated in adipose tissue, may be critically involved in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Among various POPs, serum concentrations of organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were the most ...
