MODULATION OF ARYL HYDROCARBON RECEPTOR (AHR)-REGULATED CARCINOGEN ACTIVATING ENZYMES BY ORGANIC ARSENICALS: A POTENTIAL THERAPEUTIC TARGET
DownloadSpring 2017
Arsenic is a worldwide environmental pollutant that is associated with skin and several types of internal cancers, such as liver, lung, kidney, urinary bladder, and prostate cancers. Recent reports revealed that organic arsenic metabolites, such as trimethylarsine oxide (TMAO), dimethylarsinic...

Natural and anthropogenic inputs of arsenic and selenium to the environment in the Athabasca Bituminous Sands Region
DownloadSpring 2019
Industrial development of the Athabasca Bituminous Sands (ABS) in northern Alberta, Canada, has raised concerns that emissions of arsenic and selenium to the surrounding landscape and waterbodies have been increasing over time. To test this hypothesis, a comprehensive study of arsenic and...

Risk estimates of arsenic related skin lesions in two large villages in Rajshahi Division, Bangladesh
DownloadFall 2009
In rural Bangladesh people drink water from an estimated 10-11 million tube wells, many with arsenic concentrations well above the national standard of 50µg/L. Characteristic skin lesions and more serious health effects are probable. The research reported here was designed to determine the...

Simultaneous measurement of protein and energy metabolism and application to determine lysine requirements in sows
DownloadSpring 2011
Simultaneous measurements of energy and protein metabolism can provide valuable information about their interactions. Dietary lysine is limiting in typical feedstuffs fed to swine and, therefore, limits protein synthesis. Current recommendations for dietary amino acid and energy intakes may not...

A phenylarsenical, 3-nitro-4-hydroxyphenylarsonic acid (Roxarsone®, Rox), has been used extensively as a poultry feed additive for over 60 years. However, little is known about the concentrations of different arsenic species present in chicken meat as a consequence of feeding Rox to chickens....

Arsenic trioxide (ATO), dissolved in water as arsenous acid or inorganic arsenite (AsIII), is an effective chemotherapeutic agent against acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). It has been investigated as a potential treatment for a variety of solid tumors although with much poorer efficacy than for...

Arsenic is a potent environmental contaminant and human carcinogen, occurring naturally in the earth’s crust and entering the food chain through leeching into the water supply. Upon entering the body, inorganic arsenic is methylated to mono- and di-methylated forms, the trivalent versions of...

Arsenic is a highly toxic and ubiquitous element. To this day, millions of people are exposed to arsenic contamination, which poses global health concerns. Phytoextraction performed with willows, a form of phytoremediation, is a promising means of cleaning up soils containing hazardous levels of...
