Nutrient Protection against Arsenic Toxicity: Folate, Cysteine Support Methylation in Children
Bisphenol A (BPA), an industrial chemical used in a variety of consumer products, is ubiquitous in the modern environment, with residues found in the urine of an estimated 93% of Americans over 6 years of age, according to data from the 2003–2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

متن کاملFolate, Cobalamin, Cysteine, Homocysteine, and Arsenic Metabolism among Children in Bangladesh
BACKGROUND Approximately 35 million people in Bangladesh are chronically exposed to inorganic arsenic (InAs) in drinking water. Methylation of InAs to monomethylarsonic (MMA) and dimethylarsinic acids (DMA) relies on folate-dependent one-carbon metabolism and facilitates urinary arsenic (uAs) elimination. OBJECTIVES We examined the relationships between folate, cobalamin, cysteine, total homo...
متن کاملMitochondrial Protection against Arsenic Toxicity by a Novel Gamma Tocopherol Analogue in Rat
Gamma-tocopherol along with the other forms of vitamin E plays a vital role in maintaining tissue homeostasis and protecting against oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. Recent evidences suggest that gamma-tocopherol has characteristics that are not shared by alpha-tocopherol. In present study, based on the significant role of gammatocopherol as a particular antioxidant and its substantial ...
متن کاملProtection against Radiotherapy-Induced Toxicity
Radiation therapy is a highly utilized therapy in the treatment of malignancies with up to 60% of cancer patients receiving radiation therapy as a part of their treatment regimen. Radiation therapy does, however, cause a wide range of adverse effects that can be severe and cause permanent damage to the patient. In an attempt to minimize these effects, a small number of compounds have been ident...
متن کاملOridonin Confers Protection against Arsenic-Induced Toxicity through Activation of the Nrf2-Mediated Defensive Response
BACKGROUND Groundwater contaminated with arsenic imposes a big challenge to human health worldwide. Using natural compounds to subvert the detrimental effects of arsenic represents an attractive strategy. The transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a critical regulator of the cellular antioxidant response and xenobiotic metabolism. Recently, activation of the ...
