RESUMO

Bioavailability of arsenic (As) from ingested soil is estimated in a two-period experimental study involving 11 subjects/period. In the first period, a 7-day mass-balance study measured As in food/beverages, urine, and stool to estimate bioavailability of As in food and beverages. Food/beverage As bioavailability (percentage ingested that is not in stool samples) is estimated as 91.0% with a 95% confidence interval given by (84.1%, 97.9%). In the second 7-day study period, subjects were placed on an As suppression diet. In the evening of day 2, each subject ingested a capsule containing 0.63 g of soil, including approximately 111.7 µg of soil-As. The bioavailability estimate of As from food and beverage ingestion during the first 2 days of the second period was 89.7%. Bioavailability of soil-As was estimated over the 5-day period following capsule ingestion, accounting for estimated bioavailability of food/beverage As. Assuming analytic recovery rates of As from combined soil and food/beverage samples are equal, soil-As bioavailability is estimated as 48.7% (95% CI [36.2%, 61.3%]). Relative to bioavailability of As from food/beverage sources, soil-As is estimated to be 54.3% (95% CI [40.3%, 68.4%]) as bioavailable.

RESUMO

Hormesis is an adaptive response, commonly characterized by a biphasic dose-response that can be either directly induced, or the result of compensatory biological processes following an initial disruption in homeostasis [Calabrese and Baldwin, Hum. Exp.Toxicol., 21 (2002), 91]. Low and environmentally relevant levels of dietary cadmium significantly enhanced the pupation rate of blowfly larvae, while higher doses inhibited pupation success. However, dietary cadmium at all exposure levels adversely affected the emergence of the adult fly from the pupal case. Such findings represent the first report of a heavy metal displaying a hormetic-like biphasic response for pupation success, while at the same time displaying stage-specific toxicity at a later developmental period. These conclusions are based on substantial experimentation of over 1750 blowflies, in seven replicate experiments, involving 10 concentrations per experiment. These findings indicate the need to assess the impact of environmental stressors over a broad range of potential exposures as well as throughout the entire life cycle.
