Effect of breast milk lead on infant blood lead levels at 1 month of age
(National Institue of Environmental Health Sciences, 2004)
Nursing infants may be exposed to lead from breast milk, but relatively few data exist with which to evaluate and quantify this relationship. This route of exposure constitutes a potential infant hazard from mothers with ...
Maternal arsenic exposure and impaired glucose tolerance during pregnancy
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2009)
Background: Accumulating evidence has shown an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in general populations exposed to arsenic, but little is known about exposures during pregnancy and the association with gestational diabetes ...
Lead, Diabetes, Hypertension, and Renal Function: The Normative Aging Study
(National Institue of Environmental Health Sciences, 2004)
In this prospective study, we examined changes in renal function during 6 years of follow-up in relation to baseline lead levels, diabetes, and hypertension among 448 middle-age and elderly men, a subsample of the Normative ...
Associations of Toenail Arsenic, Cadmium, Mercury, Manganese, and Lead with Blood Pressure in the Normative Aging Study
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2012)
Background: Arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead are associated with cardiovascular disease in epidemiologic research. These associations may be mediated by direct effects of the metals on blood pressure (BP) elevation. ...
Associations of Early Childhood Manganese and Lead Coexposure with Neurodevelopment
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2011)
Background: Most toxicologic studies focus on a single agent, although this does not reflect real-world scenarios in which humans are exposed to multiple chemicals. Objectives: We prospectively studied manganese–lead ...
