Development and application of high-throughput methods for analysis of persistent organic pollutants in human blood
The general public is continuously exposed to a wide range of environmental pollutants. This thesis focuses on a group of anthropogenic chemicals referred to as persistent organic pollutants (POPs)…
Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs): A Primer for Practicing Clinicians
TLDR
This review touches upon human exposure, current regulations, and health effect of the persistent organic pollutants, including dioxin, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers, hexabromocyclodododecane (HBCD), and the endocrine disruptor bisphenol A (BPA).
Persistent Organic Pollutants and Inflammatory Markers in a Cross-Sectional Study of Elderly Swedish People: The PIVUS Cohort
TLDR
Findings suggest an activation of vascular adhesion molecules by POPs, and particularly by PCB-126, in a large population-based sample of elderly Swedish people.
Urine phthalate concentrations are higher in people with stroke: United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES), 2001–2004
  • I. Shiue
  • Medicine
    European journal of neurology
  • 2013
TLDR
It was aimed to study the relationship between urine phthalate concentrations and risk of stroke in a national population‐based cross‐sectional study.
Influence of persistent organic pollutants on oxidative stress in population-based samples.
Lipophilic chemical exposure as a cause of cardiovascular disease
  • H. Zeliger
  • Chemistry, Biology
    Interdisciplinary toxicology
  • 2013
TLDR
It is reported that Environmentally induced CVD is related to total lipophilic chemical load in the blood, and Lipophiles serve to promote the absorption of otherwise not absorbed toxic hydrophilic species that promote CVD.
Do phthalates act as obesogens in humans? A systematic review of the epidemiological literature
TLDR
The current epidemiological data do not support or refute the hypothesis that phthalates act as obesogens in humans, and no inter- or intra-study consistency for any phthalate metabolite for any of the indicators of overweight/obesity, DM or CVD in children or adults.
The influence of persistent organic pollutants in the traditional Inuit diet on markers of inflammation
TLDR
POP levels were associated with the intake of the traditional Inuit diet and with markers of inflammation, which supports a pro-inflammatory role of POPs to promote chronic diseases common to populations in Greenland.
A review of environmental metabolism disrupting chemicals and effect biomarkers associating disease risks: Where exposomics meets metabolomics.
Lipoproteomics : Environmental and Genetic Factors Affecting High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL)
TLDR
Measures of cholesterol content in specific subclasses of lipoprotein particles have long been, and still is, a frequently used method for determining lipid content in the blood stream.

POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS AND ORGANOCHLORINE PESTICIDES PREDICT DEVELOPMENT OF TYPE 2 DIABETES IN THE ELDERLY: THE PROSPECTIVE INVESTIGATION OF THE VASCULATURE IN UPPSALA SENIORS (PIVUS) STUDY
TLDR
POPs, lipophilic chemicals that accumulate mainly in adipose tissue, has recently been linked to type 2 diabetes, however, evidence from prospec...
Endocrine Disruptors and Obesity: An Examination of Selected Persistent Organic Pollutants in the NHANES 1999–2002 Data
TLDR
BMI and WC are associated with POPs levels, making the chemicals plausible contributors to the obesity epidemic.
Obesity and Persistent Organic Pollutants: Possible Obesogenic Effect of Organochlorine Pesticides and Polychlorinated Biphenyls
TLDR
The diabetogenic effect of low‐dose exposure to POPs might be more complicated than a simple obesogenic effect, according to a cohort of obese and lean adult men and women.

Organochlorine Exposure and Incidence of Diabetes in a Cohort of Great Lakes Sport Fish Consumers
TLDR
The findings of an association of DDE with incident diabetes and the lack of effect of diabetes on annual percent change in POPs do not support the hypothesis that associations of POPs with diabetes are attributable to reverse causality.
Persistent Organic Pollutant Exposure Leads to Insulin Resistance Syndrome
TLDR
Evidence is provided that exposure to POPs commonly present in food chains leads to insulin resistance and associated metabolic disorders.
Circulating levels of persistent organic pollutants associate in divergent ways to fat mass measured by DXA in humans.
A cross-sectional study of the association between persistent organochlorine pollutants and diabetes
TLDR
The study provides support that POP exposure might contribute to type 2 diabetes mellitus by assessing the association between serum levels of POPs and prevalence of diabetes in Swedish fishermen and their wives with high consumption of fatty fish from the Baltic Sea.
Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Organochlorine Pesticides in Plasma Predict Development of Type 2 Diabetes in the Elderly
TLDR
It is found that environmental exposure to some POPs substantially increased risk of future type 2 diabetes in an elderly population.
Circulating Levels of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and Carotid Atherosclerosis in the Elderly
TLDR
Circulating levels of PCBs were associated with atherosclerotic plaques and echogenicity of the intima-media complex independent of cardiovascular risk factors, including lipids.
