Acrylamide, a probable human carcinogen, is formed in several foods during high-temperature processing. So far, epidemiological studies have not shown any association between human cancer risk and dietary exposure to acrylamide. The purpose of this study was to conduct a nested case control study within a prospective cohort study on the association between breast cancer and exposure to acrylami...

The influence that food heating has on the concentration of acrylamide in home-cooked potato dishes prepared by high-temperature, such as pan-frying, deep-frying, roasting and microwave heating was analyzed. The experiment was performed with commercially available deep-frozen par-fried French fries and deep-frozen par-fried potato products other than French fries (cubes, wedges, noisettes, panc...

Nutrition is the most important environmental factor that plays a crucial role in shortand long-term health outcomes. Growing evidence exists that some ingredients of preserved foods can induce epigenetic phenomena in genotoxic and nongenotoxic ways, with long-term effects on human health. Conversely, the short-term effects of harmful food components can cause structural damage to various syste...

Acrylamide is a chemical compound that can be produced at high levels in carbohydrate and aspargine rich foods when treated at high temperatures. The risks of acrylamide to health and its toxic properties (neurotoxicity, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity and reproductive toxicity) were demonstrated by the Scientific Committee on Toxicity, Ecotoxicity and the Environment in 2001. Potato and bakery p...

Acrylamide, a possible human carcinogen, is formed in certain carbohydrate-rich foods processed at high temperature. We evaluated if dietary acrylamide, at doses (0.5, 1.0 or 2.0 mg/kg diet) reflecting upper levels found in human foods, modulated colon tumorigenesis in two rodent models. Male F344 rats were randomized to receive diets without (control) or with acrylamide. 2-weeks later, rats in...

BACKGROUND Peripheral neuritis caused by acrylamide is well-known, and many Korean grouting workers are frequently exposed to acrylamide in grouting agents that are injected into cracked concrete. We recently encountered two cases of dermal and neural toxicity in Korean grouting workers with exposure to grouting agents that contained a high concentration of acrylamide. CASE PRESENTATION The f...

BACKGROUND It has been hypothesized that alteration of hormone systems is involved in the carcinogenesis of acrylamide. The aim of the present study was to examine the cross-sectional associations between dietary acrylamide intake and sex hormone levels in premenopausal Japanese women. METHODS Study subjects were 393 women who had regular menstrual cycles less than 40 days long. Acrylamide in...

synthetic water soluble acrylamide-based polymers have wide range of ap-plications  in  the  feld  of  soil  establishment  and  non-desertifcation.  in  this research, the acrylamide-based anionic polyelectrolytes were prepared by  solution polymerization. the polymerization was carried out using aibn as a radical initiator and at different degrees of anionic charges ranging between 10% and 30...
