Journal ArticleDOI
Cadmium stress: an oxidative challenge
Ann Cuypers,Michelle Plusquin,Tony Remans,Marijke Jozefczak,Els Keunen,Heidi Gielen,Kelly Opdenakker,Ambily Ravindran Nair,Elke Munters,Tom Artois,Tim S. Nawrot,Jaco Vangronsveld,Kelly Smeets +12 more
TL;DR: The current review gives an overview on Cd-induced ROS production and anti-oxidative defense in organisms under different Cd regimes and the C d-induced oxidative challenge is discussed with a focus on damage and signaling as downstream responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental exposure to cadmium and risk of cancer: a prospective population-based study
Tim S. Nawrot,Michelle Plusquin,Janneke G. F. Hogervorst,Harry Roels,Hilde Celis,Lutgarde Thijs,Jaco Vangronsveld,Etienne Van Hecke,Jan A. Staessen +8 more
TL;DR: Overall cancer risk was significantly associated with a doubling of 24-h cadmium excretion, and historical pollution from non-ferrous smelters continues to present a serious health hazard, necessitating targeted preventive measures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Public health importance of triggers of myocardial infarction: a comparative risk assessment
TL;DR: Air pollution is an important trigger of myocardial infarction, it is of similar magnitude as other well accepted triggers such as physical exertion, alcohol, and coffee and shows that ever-present small risks might have considerable public health relevance.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Telomere length is longer in females than males, although this difference was not universally found in studies that did not use Southern blot methods, and further research on explanations for the methodological differences is required.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence, Persistence, and Clinical Significance of Masked Hypertension in Youth
Empar Lurbe,Isabel Torro,Vicente Alvarez,Tim S. Nawrot,Rafael Paya,Josep Redon,Jan A. Staessen +6 more
TL;DR: In children and adolescents, masked hypertension is a precursor of sustained hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy and, once it becomes persistent, is an indication for blood pressure-lowering treatment.
