abstractthe occurrence of deoxynivalenol (don) in retail foods in tehran (iran) was determined using high-performance liquid chromatography technique and immunoaffinity column as the clean-up step. a method was validated for analysis of don in rice, bread, puffed corn snack and wheat flour. the average recoveries and precision (rsd) for don in different foods ranged 84.2-93.1% and 2.9-12.0%, re...

context hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) is one of the most common cancers in the world but with a striking geographical variation in incidence; most of the burden is in developing countries. this geographic variation in hcc incidence might be due to geographic differences in the prevalence of various etiological factors. evidence acquisition here, we review the epidemiological evidence linking d...

The Sandy Lake school-based diabetes prevention program is a culturally appropriate intervention for Ojibway-Cree students in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. This paper reports the results of the program in changing dietary intake behaviors and related psychosocial factors. Physical activity results are not included. The study was a pretest/post-test, single-sample design conducted during the 199...

Recent studies have shown that dietary Ca(2+) supplementation strongly inhibits uptake of Ca(2+) and Cd at the fish gill. To better understand the influence of dietary Ca(2+) on branchial Ca(2+) transport, we examined the expression of two trout gill calcium transporters during waterborne and dietary Cd exposure, at two different levels of dietary Ca(2+). Quantitative polymerase chain reaction ...

BACKGROUND A growing body of evidence suggests that exposure to toxic metals occurs through diet but few studies have comprehensively examined dietary sources of exposure in US populations. PURPOSE Our goal was to perform a novel dietary-wide association study (DWAS) to identify specific dietary sources of lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic exposure in US children and adults. METHODS We co...
