Mechanisms underlying Children's susceptibility to environmental toxicants.
An important public health challenge has been the need to protect children's health. To accomplish this goal, the scientific community needs scientifically based child-specific risk assessment methods. Critical to their development is the need to understand mechanisms underlying children's sensitivity to environmental toxicants. Risk is defined as the probability of adverse outcome and when app...

متن کاملToxicogenetics: in search of host susceptibility to environmental toxicants
Heavy metals, various pesticide and herbicides are implicated as risk factors for human health. Paraquat, maneb, and rotenone, carbamate, and organophosphorous insecticides are examples of toxicants for which acute and chronic exposure are associated with multiple neurological disorders including Parkinson's disease. Nevertheless, the role of pesticide exposure in neurodegenerative diseases is ...
متن کاملEnvironmental Toxicants and Testicular Apoptosis
When apoptosis is improperly activated or regulated in the testis, infertility or even cancer can result. Studies have implicated elevated rates of apoptosis in infertile male patients. Pinpointing how environmental toxicity affects apoptosis is important for the advancement of preventative medicine and behavior, especially as potentially harmful compounds continue to proliferate in households ...
متن کاملGenetic Susceptibility to Transient and Permanent Neonatal Diabetes Mellitus
Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) is a rare kind of diabetes characterized by hyperglycemia and low levels of insulin. Clinically, it is categorized into two main types: transient NDM (TNDM) and permanent NDM (PNDM). These types are diagnosed based on duration of insulin dependence early in the disease. In TNDM, diabetes begins in the first few weeks of life with remission in a few months. Howev...
