16. Unstimulated human whole saliva flow rate in relation to hyposalivation and dental caries
Abstract : Introduction: Salivary secretion is influenced by a large number of factors, including the circadian rhythm, making the detection of reduced salivary flow (hyposalivation) difficult. This is important since severely reduced salivary secretion has been associated with an increased risk for dental caries and may be a sign of a general disease, e.g. READ MORE

17. Cadmium exposure and iron status
Abstract : People are exposed to cadmium, a ubiquitous toxic metal, mainly via basic foods such as cereals and vegetables. Cadmium accumulates in the kidney, and renal tubular damage is considered the critical effect. Recently, association with osteoporosis at environmental exposure levels was indicated. READ MORE

18. Studies on the prevalence of reduced salivary flow rate in relation to general health and dental caries, and effect of iron supplementation
Abstract : Background: Reduced salivary flow is a condition that affects oral health. Its prevalence is unknown in young and middle-aged adults and there is no known treatment that permanently increases the salivary flow rate. Reduced salivary flow is related to dental caries, the most common oral disease. READ MORE

19. Health effects of environmental lead exposure in children
Abstract : Children comprise the most susceptible part of the population with regard to lead exposure. The lowest level of lead exposure considered to cause adverse health effects has fallen with time, as the research techniques have improved. READ MORE

20. Oxidative stress, macrophages, iron, and atherosclerosis
Abstract : Macrophages have a great capacity to take up exogenous material, such as oxidatively modified low density lipoproteins (oxLDL) and different sources of iron containing structures. OxLDL is taken up into macrophage lysosomes by receptor-mediated endocytosis, but poorly degraded, resulting in foam-cell formation. READ MORE
