Journal ArticleDOI
Nanoparticles in food. Epigenetic changes induced by nanomaterials and possible impact on health
Bozena Smolkova,Naouale El Yamani,Naouale El Yamani,Andrew Collins,Arno C. Gutleb,Maria Dusinska +5 more
TL;DR: Recent advances in the understanding of epigenetic pathological effects of NPs are reviewed, and their possible health impact is discussed with the aim of avoiding potential health risks posed by the use of nanomaterials in foods and food-packaging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunotoxicity, genotoxicity and epigenetic toxicity of nanomaterials: New strategies for toxicity testing?
Maria Dusinska,Jana Tulinska,Naouale El Yamani,Miroslava Kuricova,Aurelia Liskova,Eva Rollerova,Elise Rundén-Pran,Bozena Smolkova +7 more
TL;DR: There is a need to better understand their adverse effects on the epigenome, to identify robust and reproducible causal links between exposure, epigenetic changes and adverse phenotypic endpoints, and to develop improved assays to monitor epigenetic toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA damage and antioxidants; fluctuations through the year in a central European population group
Maria Dusinska,Bibiana Vallova,Monika Ursinyova,V Hladı́ková,Bozena Smolkova,Ladislava Wsolova,Katarina Raslova,Andrew Collins +7 more
TL;DR: Seasonal variations in antioxidant levels did not follow a common pattern, and Selenium as well as several antioxidants correlated negatively with indices of DNA damage, while zinc levels showed a positive correlation with DNA damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are glutathione S transferases involved in DNA damage signalling? Interactions with DNA damage and repair revealed from molecular epidemiology studies
Maria Dusinska,Marta Staruchova,Alexandra Horska,Bozena Smolkova,Andrew Collins,Stefano Bonassi,Katarina Volkovova +6 more
TL;DR: Results show that GST polymorphisms and GST activity can apparently influence DNA stability and repair of oxidised bases, suggesting a potential new role for these proteins in DNA damage processing via DNA damage signalling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal changes in markers of oxidative damage to lipids and DNA; correlations with seasonal variation in diet.
Bozena Smolkova,Maria Dusinska,Katarina Raslova,Geraldine Mcneill,Viera Spustova,P Blazicek,Alexandra Horska,Andrew Collins +7 more
TL;DR: High winter MDA levels are seen in those individuals with relatively low folic acid; they never occur in subjects with high plasma folic Acid, implying that folic acids might directly protect against lipid oxidation.
