Abstract excerpt
Organic arsenic intake from seafood is one of the major arsenic exposure routes among the general population. However, organic arsenic metabolism in the human body is not yet clear. The goal of this study was to explore the effects of genetic polymorphisms of human PNP, As3MT and GSTO1 on organic arsenic metabolism among study subjects after oyster ingestion. During the one-week dietary controlled study, fifty...
