Nuts and Olestra for Persistent Organic Pollutant Reduction (NO-POPs) Trial
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are mostly fat-soluble halogenated chemicals with very long half-lives. POPs are endocrine disruptors, associated with increased risk for diabetes… Expand

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)… Expand
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). Expand
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. Expand
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. Expand
The association between environmental endocrine disruptors and cardiovascular diseases: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
TLDR
EED exposure is a risk factor for CVD, and long-term exposure to EEDs can influence cardiovascular health in humans, and a possible synergistic effect may exist between the homologs. Expand
Influence of persistent organic pollutants on oxidative stress in population-based samples.
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are a large group of chemicals widely used and produced in various industrial applications. Many cell culture/animal studies have shown that POPs can induce… Expand
Lipophilic chemical exposure as a cause of cardiovascular disease
  • H. Zeliger
  • Medicine
  • 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. Expand
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. Expand
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. Expand

TLDR
POPs, lipophilic chemicals that accumulate mainly in adipose tissue, has recently been linked to type 2 diabetes, however, evidence from prospec... Expand

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. Expand
Associations of persistent organic pollutants with abdominal obesity in the elderly: The Prospective Investigation of the Vasculature in Uppsala Seniors (PIVUS) study.
TLDR
Low-dose exposure to less chlorinated PCBs, p,p'-DDE, and dioxin, were associated with existence or development of abdominal obesity, while highly chlorinate PCBs had an opposite association in an elderly population, despite the previous observation of higher incident diabetes associated with these same PCBs. Expand
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. Expand
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. Expand
Association of Brominated Flame Retardants With Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome in the U.S. Population, 2003–2004
TLDR
Pending confirmation in prospective studies, lipophilic xenobiotics, including brominated POPs stored in adipose tissue, may be involved in the pathogenesis of diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Expand
Circulating levels of persistent organic pollutants associate in divergent ways to fat mass measured by DXA in humans.
TLDR
Plasma concentrations of some pesticides are positively related to fat mass, while divergent associations are seen for the PCBs, which implicate a complex role of POPs in obesity. Expand
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. Expand

TLDR
It is found that environmental exposure to some POPs substantially increased risk of future type 2 diabetes in an elderly population. Expand
