  4. 17. Gene-environment interactions for arsenic metabolism and metal-related oxidatively generated DNA damage

    Author : Karin Engström; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; AS3MT; methylation; polymorphism; 8-oxodG;

    Abstract : Over 100 million people around the world are exposed to high concentrations of arsenic (As) in drinking water, associated with a number of adverse health effects such as skin, lung and bladder cancer, vascular diseases and diabetes. In humans, As is metabolized via alternating reduction and methylation reactions, from inorganic As (iAs) into monomethylated (MMA) and dimethylated As (DMA). READ MORE
