Dietary intakes of dioxins and polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) and mortality: EPIC cohort study in 9 European countries

Artículos Científicos, Investigación

Dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are toxic, endocrine disruptors and persistent chemicals for which the main exposure source is diet due to their bioaccumulation and biomagnification in food chains. Cohort studies in the general populations have reported inconsistent associations between these chemicals in serum/plasma and mortality. Our objective was to study the association between dietary…

Prediagnostic selenium status, selenoprotein gene variants and association with breast cancer risk in a European cohort study

Artículos Científicos, Cáncer, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Selenium (Se) may help prevent breast cancer (BC) development. Owing to limited observational evidence, we investigated whether prediagnostic Se status and/or variants in the selenoprotein genes are associated with BC risk in a large European cohort. Se status was assessed by plasma measures of Se and its major circulating proteins, selenoprotein P (SELENOP) and glutathione…

Renal tubular dysfunction in greenhouse farmers exposed to pesticides unveiled by a panel of molecular biomarkers of kidney injury

Artículos Científicos, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Growing evidence suggests that chronic exposure to pesticides may cause adverse effects on the health of the exposed population leading to organ-specific toxicity, including kidney damage. Traditional markers used to assess renal function (glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and serum creatinine and cystatin C –Cys-C–) are inadequate to evaluate a potential subclinical renal impairment linked to…

Dietary amino acids and risk of stroke subtypes: a prospective analysis of 356,000 participants in seven European countries

Artículos Científicos, Cáncer, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Purpose Previously reported associations of protein-rich foods with stroke subtypes have prompted interest in the assessment of individual amino acids. We examined the associations of dietary amino acids with risks of ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke in the EPIC study. Methods We analysed data from 356,142 participants from seven European countries. Dietary intakes of 19 individual…
