Effect of Environmental Intervention on the Consumption of Rice without Toxic Metals Based on the Health Belief Model and Ecological-Social Model
ABSTRACT
Introduction: The effect of instructional models on the changing behaviour of consuming contaminated rice with toxic metals has not been investigated in Iran yet.
Aim: To compare effect of Health Belief Model (HBM) and Ecological (ECO) social model on decreasing the consumption of rice ...
Dietary Strategies for the Treatment of Cadmium and Lead Toxicity
Abstract: Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) are toxic heavy metals that cause adverse health effects in humans and animals. Chelation therapy, the conventional treatment for heavy metal toxicity, is reported to have a number of safety and efficacy issues. Recent studies have shown that dietary supplements play important roles in protecting against Cd and Pb toxicity. This paper ...
Dietary Intake of Cadmium, Lead and Mercury and Its Association with Bone Health in Healthy Premenopausal Women
Abstract: The bone is one of the relevant target organs of heavy metals, and heavy metal toxicity is
associated with several degenerative processes, such osteoporosis and bone mineral alterations, that could lead to fractures. We aimed to study a presumed relationship between bone density, evaluated by quantitative bone ...
Cobalt toxicity in humans. A review of the potential sources and systemic
health effects
Abstract
Cobalt (Co) and its compounds are widely distributed in nature and are part of numerous
anthropogenic activities. Although cobalt has a biologically necessary role as metal constituent
of vitamin B12, excessive exposure has been shown to induce various adverse health effects.
This review provides an extended overview of the possible Co ...
Cadmium Handling, Toxicity and Molecular Targets Involved during Pregnancy: Lessons from Experimental Models
Abstract: Even decades after the discovery of Cadmium (Cd) toxicity, research on this heavy metal
is still a hot topic in scientific literature: as we wrote this review, more than 1440 scientific articles
had been published and listed by the PubMed.gov website during 2017. Cadmium is one of the most
common and harmful heavy metals ...
Associations between toxic and essential trace elements in maternal blood and fetal congenital heart defects
A B S T R A C T
Prenatal exposure to toxic trace elements, including heavy metals, is an important public health concern. Few studies have assessed if individual and multiple trace elements simultaneously affect cardiac development. The current study evaluated the association between maternal blood lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium ...
Association of adverse birth outcomes with prenatal exposure to vanadium: a population-based cohort study
Summary
Background Vanadium, an important pollutant produced from anthropogenic activities, has been suggested to be embryotoxic and fetotoxic in animal studies. However, little is known about its effects on humans. We aimed to assess the association of prenatal exposure to vanadium with the risk of adverse birth outcomes in babies ...
Association between cadmium exposure and urolithiasis risk
A systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract
Background: We performed a meta-analysis to determine whether a consistent relationship exists between cadmium exposure and urolithiasis in humans. Accordingly, we summarized and reviewed previously published quantitative studies.
Methods: Eligible studies with reference lists published before June 1, 2017 were obtained from ...
