Urinary Naphthol as a Biomarker of Exposure: Results from an Oral Exposure to Carbaryl and Workers Occupationally Exposed to Naphthalene
Urinary naphthol is an established human biomarker used for assessing both occupational and environmental exposure. However, 1-naphthol is a metabolite of the insecticide carbaryl while both the 1- and 2-isomers are metabolites of naphthalene. Thus, urinary 1-naphthol levels will reflect combined exposure to both substances, particularly at environmental levels. The interpretation of biomarkers...
متن کاملUrinary naphthalene mercapturates as biomarkers of exposure and stereoselectivity of naphthalene epoxidation.
Previous work has shown that the rate and stereochemistry of naphthalene epoxidation correlates with differences in susceptibility to cytotoxicity. The development of methods for measuring epoxide formation in vivo could provide a marker for assessing events critical to naphthalene cytotoxicity that are applicable to humans. Here, urinary diastereomeric mercapturates have been measured in mice ...
متن کاملRetinal Microvascular Response to Short-Term Exposure to Particulate Matters As an Indicator of Cardiovascular Effects in Work Environments
Introduction: According to the literature, Central Retinal Arteriolar Equivalent (CRAE), Central Retinal Venular Equivalent (CRVE), and Artemio Venule Ratio (AVR) are three important markers in determining the changes of retinal artery. These markers are employed as an indicator of cardiovascular effects in workers. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in retinal micro vascular responses in...
متن کاملUrinary excretion of chromium as an indicator of exposure to trivalent chromium sulphate in leather tanning.
Two workers exposed to trivalent chromium sulphate in a leather tannery had high concentrations of chromium in the urine. The concentration of chromium showed a workshift-related diurnal fluctuation, but it was remarkably high even after a vacation, indicating accumulation of chromium in the body. The concentrations of chromium in the workplace air, as collected on filters using standard techni...
متن کاملUrinary trans,trans-Muconic Acid as an Indicator of Exposure to Benzene in Cigarette Smokers1
Epidemiological studies have shown an association between cigarette smoking and increased risk of myeloid leukemia in smokers. In evaluating this link it is important to note that cigarette smoke contains benzene, among other carcinogens. Since chronic benzene exposure causes acute myeloid leukemia in humans, we aimed to determine the uptake and metabolic activation of benzene from cigarette sm...
