BACKGROUND: Arsenic poisoning is a public health problem worldwide. A few studies have reported the effects of arsenic exposure on adult cognitive function, but with limitations in the subject selection and exposure markers. Moreover, information regarding the association between arsenic exposure an...

Arsenic (As) toxicity and diabetes mellitus (DM) are emerging public health concerns worldwide. Although exposure to high levels of As has been associated with DM, whether there is also an association between low or moderate As exposure and DM remains unclear. We explored the dose-dependent associat...

Widespread contamination of arsenic (As) has become a global public health concern. Exposure to As causes respiratory complications. Asthma, a major respiratory complication, is increasing worldwide. However, the effect of chronic As exposure on the risk of asthma remains to be clarified. This study...

BACKGROUND: Alargebodyof evidence has shown a link between arsenic exposure and diabetes, but the underlying mechanisms have not yet been clarified. OBJECTIVE: We explored the association between arsenic exposure and the reduction of skeletal muscle mass as a potential mechanism of insulin resistanc...

Groundwater contaminated with arsenic (As) is the biggest threat to public health in Bangladesh. The children of As-exposure parents are also exposing to As through drinking water. The effects of As on the children's health of As-exposure parents are poorly understood. An animal study was taken to e...

An unsafe level of manganese (Mn) was detected in the drinking water in some arsenic (As)-contaminated areas in Bangladesh. Mn is an essential trace element; however, the intake of a higher level of Mn through the drinking water is associated with the development of toxicity in humans. This study wa...

Limited information is available regarding the effects of arsenic exposure on immune function. We have recently reported that chronic exposure to As was associated asthma, as determined by spirometry and respiratory symptoms. Because T helper 2 (Th2)-driven immune responses are implicated in the pat...

Groundwater particularly drinking water contamination with metals has created an environmental disaster in Bangladesh. Manganese (Mn), an essential trace element, plays a key role in the development and function of the brain. Excess Mn exposure is reported to be associated with complex neurological ...

Lead (Pb) induces neurotoxicity in both children and adults. Children are more vulnerable to Pb toxicity than adults. Little is known about the effects of Pb on the mental health of the children who are prenatally exposed. Therefore, we designed an animal experiment to compare the adverse effects of...

Skeletal muscle mass reduction has been implicated in insulin resistance (IR) that promotes cardiometabolic diseases. We have previously reported that arsenic exposure increases IR concomitantly with the reduction of skeletal muscle mass among individuals exposed to arsenic. The arsenic methylation ...

Arsenic is a potent environmental toxicant and human carcinogen. Skin lesions are the most common manifestations of chronic exposure to arsenic. Advanced-stage skin lesions, particularly hyperkeratosis have been recognized as precancerous diseases. However, the underlying mechanism of arsenic-induce...

BACKGROUND: Hypertension is a major cause of death worldwide. Although arsenic exposure has been associated with the risk of hypertension, this association appears nonuniform due to inconsistent results from studies conducted in different populations. Moreover, hypertension is a complex condition wi...

Chronic exposure to arsenic via drinking water is a serious public health issue in many countries. Arsenic causes not only cancers but also non-malignant diseases, including asthma. We have previously reported that arsenic exposure increases the risk of Th2-mediated allergic asthma. The serum level ...

Arsenic exposure is associated with obesity- or excess adiposity-related disorders, including cardiometabolic diseases. Previously, many human studies attempted to establish the association of arsenic exposure with obesity, mainly through body mass index (BMI) but failed to provide any concrete evid...
