Coatings in food contact materials: Potential source of genotoxic contaminants?
use in FCM coatings has not (recently) been evaluated. Since detailed evaluation of all compounds is not feasible, a pragmatic approach was developed to identify substances with a potential concern for ...
Strain- and Dose-Dependent Reduction of Toxoplasma gondii Burden in Pigs Is Associated with Interferon-Gamma Production by CD8(+) Lymphocytes in a Heterologous Challenge Model.
cellular immune responses, the presence of viable parasites and the parasite load in edible meat samples were evaluated. In homologous infection experiments the parasite persistence was clearly ...
Discrimination of three genetically close Aspergillus species by using high resolution melting analysis applied to indoor air as case study.
observed for that qPCR method, no discrimination could previously be made between A. versicolor, Aspergillus creber and Aspergillus sydowii. METHODS: In this study, we developed and evaluated an HRM assay ...
Evaluation of the potential health risks of substances migrating from polycarbonate replacement baby bottles.
the potential migration risks associated with these alternative materials were investigated. First, all substances were evaluated for endocrine disruptive (ED) activity by using different existing lists ...
Ecotoxicological potential of antibiotic pollution-industrial wastewater: bioavailability, biomarkers, and occurrence in Mytilus galloprovincialis.
(PW), indicate a large pathological power revealed on the gills. On the other hand, genotoxicity of the studied effluent was evaluated using comet assay for quantification of DNA fragmentation in gill ...
No Association between Elevated Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone at Birth and Parent-Reported Problem Behavior at Preschool Age.
born children, or children with congenital hypothyroidism were excluded. The degree of behavioral problems was evaluated using the Child Behavior Check List (CBCL) for age 1½-5 years questionnaire. ...
Study of the possible migration risks of food contact materials for children under 3 years
s) covering a wide variety in polarity and chemical functionality was chosen to evaluate the extraction efficiency of n-hexane, iso-octane, ethyl acetate (EtOAc)-n-hexane (1:1 and 1:3), MTBE and ...
Physical activity and sedentary behavior in Belgium (BNFCS2014): design, methods and expected outcomes.
sedentary behavior has been related with an increased risk for all-cause mortality. The accurate measurement of physical activity and sedentary behavior is therefore vital to evaluate their health impact and ...
Evaluation of the migration of chemicals from baby bottles under standardised and duration testing conditions.
microwave, sterilisation and dishwasher, on the migration of different contaminants was evaluated by means of duration tests. These results were compared with a reference treatment (filling five times with ...
Biotech Rice: Current developments and future detection challenges in food and feed chain
processes and the elements composing their transgenic cassettes. From this work, the power and weakness of the standard detection system, notably used by the European enforcement laboratories, are evaluated ...
