Context Uranium is found in geological deposits around the world. Toxicology of uranium
includes nephrotoxicity, carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, diminished bone growth, and …

Uranium (U) is ubiquitously abundant in the environment. Significant amounts of U are
applied on agricultural soils with mineral phosphorus fertilizers; thus, entering the food …

Uranium level in drinking water is usually in the range of microgram-per-liter, but this value
may be as much as 100 to 1000 times higher in some areas, which may raise question …

Uranium accumulates in bone, affects bone metabolism in laboratory animals, and when
ingested in drinking water increases urinary excretion of calcium and phosphate, important …

Background: In experimental settings, uranium is toxic to kidneys, but effects on humans are
unclear. Ingestion of water from drilled wells is a source of high uranium exposure in some …

Context: Animal model studies have demonstrated that subchronic oral uranium exposure is
associated with renal dysfunction. Little is known about the effects of environmental …

The concentration-dependent absorption behaviour of uranium was investigated with
surviving intestinal segments of rat jejunums, using an ex-vivo model. The results showed a …

Animal studies and small studies in humans have shown that uranium is nephrotoxic.
However, more information about its renal effects in humans following chronic exposure …

Uranium is a heavy metal naturally found in the earth's crust that can contaminate the
general public population when ingested. The acute effect and notably the uranium …

Elevated levels of naturally occurring uranium have been found in small geographic areas
throughout the world. Exposure of the general public to uranium is most often by the …
