At the cellular level, cadmium (Cd) induces both damaging and repair processes in which
the cellular redox status plays a crucial role. Being not redox-active, Cd is unable to generate …

Background It is widely believed that females have longer telomeres than males, although
results from studies have been contradictory. Methods We carried out a systematic review and …

We focus on the recent evidence that elucidates our understanding about the effects of
cadmium (Cd) on human health and their prevention. Recently, there has been substantial …

Background Cadmium is a ubiquitous environmental pollutant, which accumulates in the

We hypothesized that 1 minus the slope of diastolic on systolic pressure during 24-hour
ambulatory monitoring (ambulatory arterial stiffness index [AASI]) might reflect arterial stiffness. …

Objectives Resin-based dental materials are not inert in the oral environment, and may
release components, initially due to incomplete polymerization, and later due to degradation. …

Particle transfer across the placenta has been suggested but to date, no direct evidence in
real-life, human context exists. Here we report the presence of black carbon (BC) particles as …

Masked hypertension, an elevated daytime ambulatory blood pressure in the presence of a
normal office blood pressure, confers an increased cardiovascular risk to adults. We …

… TS Nawrot obtained data, constructed the database, and did the analysis. JA Staessen,
TS Nawrot, and A Aviv wrote the first draft of the manuscript. JP Gardner supervised telomere …
