Abstract excerpt
We examined possible early-effect biomarkers and polymorphisms of susceptibility in primary school children living near the Atoyac River in central México, which receives waste from multiple industries. We observed a significant increase in micronucleated reticulocytes associated with the oxidative stress index (OSI) and the OGG1 GG (S326C) genotype, and a significant decrease of reticulocytes carrying the...
