- 1From: Indian Journal of Medical Research. (Vol. 128, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedChronic arsenic toxicity (arsenicosis) due to drinking of arsenic contaminated ground water is a major environmental health hazard throughout the world including India. A lot of new information is emerging from extensive...
- 2From: Indian Journal of Medical Research. (Vol. 128, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedManganese (Mn) is an essential element present in all living organisms and is naturally present in rocks, soil, water, and food. Exposure to high oral, parenteral, or ambient air concentrations of Mn can result in...
- 3From: Indian Journal of Medical Research. (Vol. 128, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedNickel-induced toxicity and carcinogenicity, with an emphasis on the generation and role of reactive oxygen species is reviewed. Nickel is a known haematotoxic, immunotoxic, neurotoxic, genotoxic, reproductive toxic,...
- 4From: Indian Journal of Medical Research. (Vol. 128, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedCadmium (Cd), a by-product of zinc production, is one of the most toxic elements to which man can be exposed at work or in the environment. Once absorbed, Cd is efficiently retained in the human body, in which it...
- 5From: Indian Journal of Medical Research. (Vol. 128, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedHexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), a commonly used industrial metal, is a well known human lung carcinogen. Epidemioiogy and animal studies suggest that the particulate Cr(VI) compounds, specifically the water insoluble...
- 6From: Indian Journal of Medical Research. (Vol. 128, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedThe contaminants of concern for smelting and mining sites include arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn). Risk assessments for such sites need to consider whether toxicity values can be developed for this...
- 7From: Indian Journal of Medical Research. (Vol. 128, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedMythological stories from the Far East and the West have referenced the importance of metals and metalloids in numerous human activities ranging from farming, armor, archery and to use in medicine indicating their role...
- 8From: Indian Journal of Medical Research. (Vol. 128, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIron is an essential trace metal required by all living organisms and is toxic in excess. Nature has evolved a delicately balanced network to monitor iron entry, transport it to sites of need, and serve as a unique...
- 9From: Indian Journal of Medical Research. (Vol. 128, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedEmerging evidence supports the theory that some autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) may result from a combination of genetic/biochemical susceptibility, specifically a reduced ability to excrete mercury (Hg), and exposure...
- 10From: Indian Journal of Medical Research. (Vol. 128, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedCu being a transition metal is ubiquitously engaged in biological systems to derive electrons through its participation in several enzymatic reactions. Upon bestowing the significance of Cu in biological systems, an...
- 11From: Indian Journal of Medical Research. (Vol. 128, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedExposure to heavy metals is a common phenomenon due to their environmental pervasiveness. Metal intoxication particularly neurotoxicity, genotoxicity, or carcinogenicity is widely known. This review summarizes our...
- 12From: Indian Journal of Medical Research. (Vol. 128, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedSeveral epidemiological and clinical studies have found a link between chronic lead exposure and elevated blood pressure. In addition, a few population studies have shown possible connection between lead exposure and...
- 13From: Indian Journal of Medical Research. (Vol. 128, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedCadmium and lead are divalent cations with a propensity to settle in the proximal tubule of the nephron, leading to nephrotoxicity. The pathophysiologicai results, however, tend to diverge. Cadmium in sufficient...
- 14From: Indian Journal of Medical Research. (Vol. 128, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedExposure to high levels of aluminium (Al) leads to neurofibrillary degeneration and that Al concentration is increased in degenerating neurons in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Nevertheless, the role of Al in AD remains...
- 15From: Indian Journal of Medical Research. (Vol. 128, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedNeurotoxicity induced by methylmercury (MeHg) increases the formation of reactive radicals and accelerates free radical reactions. This review summarizes recent findings in the MeHg- induced formation of free radicals...

(Vol. 128, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedSOME FORTHCOMING SCIENTIFIC EVENTS Symposium/Seminar/ Contact Address Workshop Course/Conference (Date & Place) National Workshop Dr Ashutosh Halder, Organizing Secretary on Molecular Department of Reproductive Biology...
- 17From: Indian Journal of Medical Research. (Vol. 128, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedThe clinical interpretation of trace element analysis has lagged behind the technology available to measure the elements in body fluids. Reports can be difficult to interpret and requires knowledge of toxicokinetics, the...
