In Da Nang, almost half of the subjects had blood 2,3,7,8-tetraCDD concentrations in the range of 10–100 pg/g lipid. These findings suggest that military workers at contaminated bases are the population most vulnerable to dioxin exposure, especially at Bien Hoa....

Previous rat studies have demonstrated the ability of dioxin (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)) exposure to promote the epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of disease susceptibility in subsequent generations. The types of disease previously observed include puberty abnormalities, testis, ...
conducted when the children reached 3 years of age. Perinatal dioxin exposure levels in the children were estimated using dioxin levels in maternal breast milk after birth. Mothers were interviewed using the Children’s Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (CEBQ...
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of dioxin exposure on steroid hormones of primiparae in an Agent Orange/dioxin hot-spot and a non-exposed area in Vietnam. Sixteen primiparae (8 at each site), all of whom were aged between 20 and 30 years with infants aged ...
In Reply. —The purpose of the Centers for Disease Control study was to attempt to validate an Agent Orange exposure index on the basis of a review of military records of Army ground combat troops. As described in the study, these showed dates and locations served. Therefore, the study did...

Over 90% of human exposure to dioxins is through food. Major incidents involving elevated levels of dioxins in animal-derived foods have occurred in Belgium, USA, and Ireland. In the case of the USA incident, the source of the dioxins was a type of natural clay used as a binding agent ...
exposure causes AhR to bind to a ligand which causes conformational changes, nuclear translocation, and activation of AhR. The AhR signaling network is one of the key factors for the action of TCDD. In addition, the crosstalk between AhR andERsignaling pathways is also involved in...
