TL;DR: Arsenite activates several pathways involved in MCF-7 cell proliferation suggesting that arsenite exposure may pose a risk for breast cancer in human exposed populations notwithstanding that most studies to date have not yet implicated this metalloid as a cofactor in the etiology of this disease.

TL;DR: A mini-review summarizes the literature describing the molecular mechanisms affected by As, as well as the most used biomarkers of oxidative stress and damage in human populations and how microarray-based gene expression analysis can provide better insights of the underlying mechanisms involved in As-induced diseases.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the use of some personal care products contributes to phthalate body burden that deserves attention due to its potential health impact.

TL;DR: Levels of some phthalates may play a role in the genesis of diabetes, according to a cross-sectional study evaluated the possible association between phthalate exposure and self-reported diabetes among adult Mexican women.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported associations between blood lead and cognitive performance for first-grade Mexican children living near a metal foundry and examined the relation between children's concurrent blood lead concentrations (mean (SD) 11.4 microg/dL (6.1)) and their performance on 14 tests of global or specific cognitive functions.
