Subchronic Exposure to Arsenic and Nickel Triggers Nitrosative Stress and Histological Alterations in the Rat Liver

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental exposure to heavy metals poses a threat to human health. Several studies documented harmful effects on the liver after arsenic and nickel exposure at concentrations beyond permissible limits. Nevertheless, the impact of a simultaneous exposure to both elements on hepatic biochemistry and histology remains unelucidated. Therefore,

Return to baseline arsenic concentrations after 1 year on gluten‐free diet in children with celiac disease: A prospective cohort study

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Lifelong adherence to a gluten‐free diet (GFD) is the primary treatment for celiac disease (CeD). Concerns have been raised about increased exposure to contaminants in a GFD because rice, which naturally bioaccumulates arsenic and other environmental contaminants, is commonly used as a substitute for gluten.

Arsenic bioaccessibility in environmentally important arsenic minerals

Journal of Hazardous Materials
The potential risk to humans from incidental ingestion of As-contaminated soil and mine waste is influenced by the mineralogical composition of the As phases present. Using the Solubility Bioaccessibility Research Consortium in vitro assay, simulating gastric conditions, we determined the oral bioaccessibility of As in 16 environmentally important As ...

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

The use of edible insects in human food

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...

Essential and toxic elements intake from botanical extracts: a probabilistic risk–benefit evaluation within the Italian dietary context

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Botanical extracts are widely consumed for their claimed health benefits, yet their safety profile with respect to chronic consumption remains poorly characterized. Understanding the potential health risks associated with their inorganic content is a crucial issue for ensuring safe use, along with a characterization of the ...

Biotransformation of seafood arsenic by intestinal microbiota: A critical review on ecotoxicological and health risk implications

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Arsenic (As) is a toxic element widely distributed in the marine environment, making seafood the primary dietary route of human exposure. It is present in diverse chemical forms, including low-toxicity organic species, such as arsenobetaine (AsB) and ...

Nutrition Status of Trees on Spoil Heaps After Coal Mining Can Be Inferred From Seasonal Dynamics of Foliar Nutrient Concentrations

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A stable vegetation cover on given habitat conditions can be one of the possible requirements for post‐mining sites, as it can prevent erosion and dustiness of these anthropogenic surfaces and bring several practical future benefits, such as biomass production and microclimate improvement.

Arsonic Acid Functional Polymers Enable Stabilization of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles in Aqueous Solution

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Arsonic acid containing diblock copolymers are developed to incorporate arsonic acid moieties for surface anchoring to IONPs, along with water soluble PEG blocks to impart colloidal stability in aqueous environments. The resulting polymer‐coated IONPs are evaluated for stability in physiological media and cytocompatibility.
