Metabolic syndrome (MetS) prevalence has increased dramatically worldwide and has
become a public health issue. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were identified as …

Background All humans are now co-exposed to multiple toxic chemicals, among which
metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are of special concern as they are …

Previous studies have found that heavy metals are associated with metabolic syndrome
(MetS), although findings are inconsistent. Further, investigations into potential associations …

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a global health problem with an increasing prevalence.
However, effects of trace elements and heavy metals on MetS and the mechanism …

Growing evidence suggests that metal exposure contributes to metabolic syndrome (MetS),
but little is known about the effects of combined exposure to metal mixtures. This cross …

Background: Ubiquitous polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been shown to alter
gene expression patterns and elevate micronuclei (MN) frequency, but the underlying …

Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) produced from various pyrogenic and
petrogenic sources in the environment has been linked to a variety of toxic effects in the …

Numerous studies have explored the health impacts of individual metal exposures, yet the
effects of metal mixtures on human endogenous metabolism remain largely unexplored. We …

Scarce information exists about the link between mixed heavy metals and metabolic
syndrome (MetS) and its components, as well as its molecular mechanism. Thus, we …

The present study examined the associations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)
exposure with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components. Data were from 5181 US …
