Assessment of Exposure to Aluminum through Consumption of Noodle Products.

This study aimed to determine aluminum (Al) contents in commonly consumed noodles and estimate the risk of Al exposure through the consumption of noodles in the Thai population. A total of 80 samples, 20 samples each of rice stick noodles, egg noodles, wide rice noodles, and Thai rice noodles was purchased from markets in Bangkok Metropolitan and other four provinces in each region of Thailand. Wet digestion and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) were used to determine Al contents.

Restoration of metabolic tempo through time-restricted eating (TRE) as the preventive measure for metabolic diseases.

The characteristics of healthy bioenergetics are the overall balance of energy intake and expenditure, the alternate switching for different metabolic fuels, and the temporal rhythm of eating and fasting. These three bioenergetic attributes, herein, are termed as the metabolic tempo. Cumulative studies revealed the beneficial health effects of fasting.

Cytotoxic and inflammatory responses of TiO2 nanoparticles on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 -NPs) have been widely used in many applications. Owing to their nanoscale size, interactions between cells and NPs have been expansively investigated. With the health concerns raised regarding the adverse effects of these interactions, closer examination of whether TiO2 -NPs can induce toxicity towards human cells is greatly needed.

Cadmium Exposure and Potential Health Risk from Foods in Contaminated Area, Thailand.

Man-made cadmium (Cd) emissions can be transported between environmental matrices and the food chain. Food is the primary source of Cd exposure among general population as a consequence of the bio-concentration of Cd from soil. Chronic Cd exposure has been reported to be associated with chronic kidney disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Cadmium bioavailability from vegetable and animal-based foods assessed with in vitro digestion/caco-2 cell model.

Background: Chronic dietary cadmium (Cd) exposure results in kidney dysfunction and decrease in bone mineral density.

Objective: To determine and compare the bioavailability of Cd from vegetable and animal-based foods.

Material And Method: Caco-2 cells were exposed to Cd in boiled pig kidney, ark shell, kale, raw kale, mixed boiled pig kidney with raw kale and CdCl2 after in vitro digestion.
