Journal ArticleDOI
Gender differences in the disposition and toxicity of metals
TL;DR: Gender differences in susceptibility at lower exposure are uncertain, but recent data indicate that cadmium has estrogenic effects and affect female offspring, and experimental data suggest that females are more susceptible to immunotoxic effects of lead.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phthalate diesters and their metabolites in human breast milk, blood or serum, and urine as biomarkers of exposure in vulnerable populations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the concentrations of phthalate diesters or their metabolites in breast milk, blood or serum, and urine and evaluate their suitability for assessing perinatal exposure to phthalates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intestinal absorption of dietary cadmium in women depends on body iron stores and fiber intake.
TL;DR: There was a tendency toward higher BCd and UCd concentrations with increasing fiber intake; however, the concentrations were not statistically significant at the 5% level, indicating an inhibitory effect of fiber on the gastrointestinal absorption of cadmium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metals and Women's Health
TL;DR: Exposure and health effects of cadmium, nickel, lead, mercury, and arsenic manifested differently in women than in men are reviewed to indicate gender differences in the biotransformation by methylation, while males seem to be more sensitive to exposure during early development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxic and essential elements in placentas of Swedish women.
Katarina Osman,Agneta Åkesson,Marika Berglund,Katarina Bremme,Andrejs Schütz,Karolin Ask,Marie Vahter +6 more
TL;DR: Lead, but not cadmium crossed easily the placental barrier, indicating that lead might have negative influence on growth in children even at very low exposure levels and there was a depletion of maternal stores of essential elements with increasing parity.
