Cadmium Exposure and Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in U.S. Children
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2012)Background: Low-level environmental cadmium exposure in children may be associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. Objective: Our aim was to evaluate associations between urinary cadmium concentration and reported ... -
Caffeine N3-demethylation (CYP1A2) in a population with an increased exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls
(Springer Nature, 2006)Objective To investigate the CYP1A2 phenotype distribution in a population with an increased exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) that would likely induce an increased activity of this enzyme. Further, to ... -
Calcineurin activation causes retinal ganglion cell degeneration
(Molecular Vision, 2012)Purpose: We previously reported that calcineurin, a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent serine/threonine phosphatase, is activated and proposed that it participates in retinal ganglion cell (RGC) apoptosis in two rodent ocular ... -
Calcineurin Regulates Innate Antifungal Immunity in Neutrophils
(Rockefeller University Press, 2010)Patients taking immunosuppressive drugs, like cyclosporine A (CsA), that inhibit calcineurin are highly susceptible to disseminated fungal infections, although it is unclear how these drugs suppress resistance to these ... -
Calcium and dairy intakes in relation to long-term weight gain in US men
(Oxford University Press, 2006)Background: The role of calcium in the maintenance of body weight remains controversial. Objective: We investigated the association between calcium and dairy intakes and 12-y weight change in US men. Design: This study was ... -
