Association of genetic polymorphisms in detoxifying systems and urinary metal(loid) levels with excess body weight among Spanish children: A proof-of-concept study.

Abstract excerpt

Exposure to metal(loid)s during critical developmental windows could result in permanent damage to the target organ system, increasing susceptibility to disease later in life. In view of the fact that metals(loid)s have been shown to work as obesogens, the aim of the present case-control study was to evaluate the modification effect of exposure to metal(loid)s on the association between SNPs in genes involved in...
