Telomeres are nucleotide tandem repeats located at the tip of eukaryotic chromosomes that maintain genomic integrity. The gradual shortening telomeres leads to cellular senescence and apoptosis, a key mechanism aging age‑related chronic diseases. Epigenetic factors, such as nutrition, exercise tobacco can affect rate which shorten modify risk developing In this study, we evaluated effects combination nutraceutical supplements (NS) on telomere length (TL) in healthy volunteers with no medical...
Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most common industrial chemicals and known to exert endocrine disruption activity. The aim this study was quantification BPA in food stuffs on Greek market. applied liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method validated for linearity, limit quantification, accuracy, precision recovery. About 41.7% canned solid phase samples, 25.0% samples 43.8% soft drinks were positive. Mean concentrations (range) 33.4 ± 4.4 ng/g (4.90 0.64-66.0 8.6 ng/g) phase, 2.70 0.08...
Phthalates are used in industry as plasticizers or additives everyday products and they have been considered endocrine disrupting chemicals. Maternal exposure during pregnancy has associated with neonatal exposure, preterm birth impacts the reproductive respiratory systems. The aim of this study is to determine six phthalate metabolites (mono isobutyl phthalate, miBP, mono n-butyl mnBP, benzyl mBzP, ethylhexyl mEHP, 2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl mEHHP, 2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl-phthalate, mEOHP) amniotic...
To evaluate the exposure of different population groups in Thessaly (Greece) to organophosphate pesticides (OPs) and investigate dependence levels on pesticide application practices, personal protective hygienic measures taken.For assessment, four dialkyl phosphate (DAP) metabolites were quantified spot urine samples 77 sprayers, 75 residents studied agricultural area non-involved activities 112 urban who served as a control group. Structured questionnaires used record demographic...
Abstract Bisphenol A (BPA), triclosan (TCS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are endocrine disruptors linked with negative health effects such as developmental, reproductive cardiovascular toxicity. The aim of this study was to determine simultaneously the concentration BPA, TCS PFOA in hair from children adults examine possible associations between biomonitoring data age, gender, dietary habits body mass index. Methanolic extraction applied compounds were determined by liquid...
Telomeres are repeated 5'-TTAGGG-3' sequences at the end of chromosomes, which maintain genomic stability. Their length is related to a number diseases that affect humans. Apart from cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and other, telomere has been associated with chronic diseases. Chronic mental illness includes various types disorders most common being depression, schizophrenia stress-anxiety. The aim this review summarize current state knowledge on role telomeres in these compare...
Preterm births constitute a major public health issue and chronic, cross-generational condition globally. Psychological biological factors interact in way that women from low socio-economic status (SES) are disproportionally affected by preterm delivery at increased risk for the development of perinatal mental problems. Low SES constitutes one most evident contributors to poor neurodevelopment infants. Maternal disorders have persistent effects on behavioral physiological functioning...
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a plasticizer known to have various adverse effects on humans and animals. Exposure of farm animals BPA negatively impacts their health poses threat who consume products animal origin. Despite the importance studying exposure BPA, knowledge in this area quite limited. To date, assessment levels dairy cows using analysis hair samples has not been performed. The study utilized liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analyze collected from 48 following regions Kyrgyzstan:...
The purpose of this study was to develop a rapid and cost efficient hair extraction method, using the headspace solid phase microextraction (HSSPME) technique for simultaneous determination biomonitoring 1,1,1‐trichloro‐2,2‐bis(4‐chlorophenyl)ethane) (DDT) its isomers/metabolites polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in samples. A total 72 head samples were collected from children living urban rural regions island Crete. Two hundred milligrams digested under alkaline conditions thermostated 30...
