Biomarkers of Lead Exposure and DNA Methylation within Retrotransposons
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2010)
Background: DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark that regulates gene expression. Changes in DNA methylation within white blood cells may result from cumulative exposure to environmental metals such as lead. Bone lead, a ...
Effects of Particulate Matter on Genomic DNA Methylation Content and iNOS Promoter Methylation
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2008)
Background: Altered patterns of gene expression mediate the effects of particulate matter (PM) on human health, but mechanisms through which PM modifies gene expression are largely undetermined.Objectives We aimed at ...
