Perinatal Immunotoxicity: Why Adult Exposure Assessment Fails to Predict Risk
Recent research has pointed to the developing immune system as a remarkably sensitive toxicologic target for environmental chemicals and drugs. In fact, the perinatal period before and just after birth is replete with dynamic immune changes, many of which do not occur in adults. These include not only the basic maturation and distribution of immune cell types and selection against autoreactive ...

متن کاملImmunotoxicity of Asbestos
The study of asbestos immunotoxicity is generally applied toward understanding the mechanisms that lead to its infamous outcomes, mesothelioma and asbestosis, rather than as an outcome itself. However, emerging evidence suggests that asbestos exposure has critical inflammatory and autoimmune effects. Although crystalline silica is broadly accepted as an exposure trigger for systemic autoimmune ...
متن کاملSelenium and Chronic Heart Failure
To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Inoko et al about selenium deficiency,1 but we do not agree with the interpretation of the data. Selenium deficiency was identified as a factor in the etiology of heart failure syndromes in areas of very low selenium intakes, such as China, where an endemic selenium-responsive cardiomyopathy is called Keshan disease.2 Similar cases of cardiomy...
متن کاملSelenium and selenium-dependent antioxidants in chronic kidney disease.
Oxidative stress plays a key role in numerous disease processes including chronic kidney disease (CKD). In general, oxygen metabolism leads to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) dangerous to cells. Although enzymes and low-molecular-weight antioxidants protect against ROS, chronic imbalances of formation and elimination can eventually overwhelm endogenous defenses leading to deleter...
