Nutrient-toxicant interactions: susceptible populations.
Nutritional status can substantially modify the toxicity of environmental pollutants. Investigations with experimental animals and epidemiological observations on humans have established the role of nutrition in altering susceptibility to a variety of pollutants including pesticides and heavy metals. The degree of nutritional deficiency that alters susceptibility need not be severe. Frequently ...
متن کاملInteractions of allergens and irritants in susceptible populations in producing lung dysfunction: implications for future research.
Environmental agents, when applied in combination or sequentially, can induce a wide variety of adverse health effects in humans. To determine the effects of sequential allergen challenge and acid exposure on human bronchial epithelial cell function, we subjected normal, nonallergic control and ragweed-allergic individuals to bronchoscopic segmental ragweed challenge in vivo. We harvested bronc...
متن کاملNanotoxicity Overview: Nano-Threat to Susceptible Populations
Due to the increasing applications of nanomaterials and nanotechnology, potential danger of nanoparticle exposure has become a critical issue. However, recent nanotoxicity studies have mainly focused on the health risks to healthy adult population. The nanotoxicity effects on susceptible populations (such as pregnant, neonate, diseased, and aged populations) have been overlooked. Due to the alt...
متن کاملHeterosis in Ddt Resistant and Susceptible Populations
HE phenomenon of heterosis has generally been studied in relation to some Tarbitrarily selected trait such as size, weight, or yield. Heterosis is then regarded as being manifested by an increase in the chosen trait. Although various definitions have been proposed ( GOWEN 1952), heterosis is most commonly and most meaningfully defined as an increase in the chosen trait in crossbred individuals ...
متن کاملIron–Nutrient Interactions within Phytoplankton
Iron limits photosynthetic activity in up to one third of the world's oceans and in many fresh water environments. When studying the effects of Fe limitation on phytoplankton or their adaptation to low Fe environments, we must take into account the numerous cellular processes within which this micronutrient plays a central role. Due to its flexible redox chemistry, Fe is indispensable in enzyma...
