Acrylamide (AA) is a probable human carcinogen found in several foods. Little information is available regarding exposure of adolescents, a subgroup potentially consuming more AA-rich foods. We investigated the relationship between dietary AA intake and levels of biomarkers of exposure (urinary metabolites and hemoglobin adducts) in 195 non-smoking teenagers of Montreal Island aged 10-17 years. Dietary habits and personal characteristics were documented by questionnaire. AA and its metabolites were quantified in 12-h urine collections by LC-MS/MS. Hemoglobin adducts from 165 blood samples were also analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Most prevalent urinary metabolites were NACP and NACP-S, with respective geometric mean concentrations of 31.2 and 14.2 μmol/mol creatinine. Geometric mean concentrations of AAVal and GAVal (hemoglobin adducts of AA and glycidamide (GA) with N-terminal valine residues) were 45.4 and 45.6 pmol/g globin, respectively. AA intake during the 2 days before urine collection was a significant predictor of NACP+NACP-S urinary concentrations (P<0.0001). AA intakes during the month before blood collection (P<0.0001) and passive smoking (P<0.05) were associated with adduct levels. Levels of hemoglobin adducts were above biomonitoring equivalent values corresponding to a 1 × 10(-4) excess cancer risk, which may indicate the need to reduce AA exposure in the population.

Introduction: Population aging is a global concern, with the World Health Organization predicting that by 2030, one in six individuals worldwide will be 60 years or older. Ethylene oxide (EO) is a widely used industrial chemical with potential health risks, including associations with age-related diseases. This study investigates the relationship between EO exposure and biological age acceleration.

Article Synopsis
- Ethylene oxide (EO) exposure has been linked to disruptions in glucose metabolism, potentially increasing the risk of prediabetes and diabetes, but this association hasn't been thoroughly studied in larger populations.
- The study analyzed data from over 15,000 participants in the NHANES from 2017 to 2020, measuring EO exposure through hemoglobin adducts and evaluating its effects on glucose metabolism indicators using various statistical methods.
- Results showed that higher levels of EO exposure significantly correlated with increased risks of prediabetes (up to 33%) and diabetes (up to 61%), especially among obese and non-smoking individuals, while also suggesting that EO exposure might aggravate

Article Synopsis
- The study examines PAH-hemoglobin adducts in blood samples from pregnant women in Rochester, NY, as potential long-term exposure biomarkers for air pollution.
- Researchers measured specific hydrolysis products of PAH-hemoglobin adducts (BaPT and PHET) and linked these to cumulative exposure to particulate matter (PM) during pregnancy.
- The results indicated positive correlations between these biomarker levels and PM exposure over specified gestational weeks, highlighting PAH-hemoglobin adducts as effective indicators of longer-term air pollution exposure, while no link was found with NO exposure.
Artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum Kelch13 mutant proteins display reduced heme-binding affinity and decreased artemisinin activation.

The potency of frontline antimalarial drug artemisinin (ART) derivatives is triggered by heme-induced cleavage of the endoperoxide bond to form reactive heme-ART alkoxy radicals and covalent heme-ART adducts, which are highly toxic to the parasite. ART-resistant (ART-R) parasites with mutations in the Plasmodium falciparum Kelch-containing protein Kelch13 (PfKekch13) exhibit impaired hemoglobin uptake, reduced yield of hemoglobin-derived heme, and thus decreased ART activation. However, any direct involvement of PfKelch13 in heme-mediated ART activation has not been reported.

Background: Ethylene oxide (EO) is a volatile compound positively correlated with respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Currently, evidence suggests that environmental exposure may contribute to depressive symptoms. This study evaluated the correlation between EO exposure and depressive symptoms and investigated whether inflammatory indicators had a mediation effect on this correlation.
