Disease relevance of Seafood

 

High impact information on Seafood

  • Dietary management of hemochromatosis includes avoidance of medicinal iron, mineral supplements, excess vitamin C, and uncooked seafoods [5].
  • Cytotoxicity, morphological neoplastic transformation, intracellular retention and metabolic behaviour have been investigated in BALB/3T3 Cl A 31-1-1 cells for arsenobetaine, the main form of arsenic in certain seafoods, in comparison to inorganic sodium arsenite [6].
  • The results suggest that the CT gene-positive strains of V. cholerae O1 have been imported into Japan through seafoods and/or by travelers [7].
  • Exhaust gases from an incinerator, in which mixtures of 67 food items--including fruits, vegetables, pasta, seafoods, meats, and processed foods and seasoned foods--were analyzed for dioxins [8].
  • Arsenobetaine and arsenocholine are considered to be non-toxic and are present as a relatively large proportion of total arsenic in seafoods, and they do not respond to hydride generation [9].
 

Biological context of Seafood

 

Associations of Seafood with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Seafood

  • SEA food poisoning and IL 2 therapy for cancer result in similar toxic symptoms, characterized by malaise, fever, nausea or vomiting, and diarrhea [14].
  • During the last decade, several microbiological rapid methods or principles (DEFT, microcolonies, Limulus lysate, ATP, conductance, microcalorimetry, reduction of trimethylamine oxide (TMAO)) have been suggested for estimating the bacteriological quality of seafoods [15].
  • Non-IgE antibody reactions, complement-dependent reactions, enzyme deficiencies such as lactase and non-immunologic histamine release (such as with some sea foods) have been described [16].
  • We studied the accumulation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), 1,1,1.trichloro-2,2-bis[p-chlorophenyl]ethane (DDT) and its metabolites, and vitamins A and E in the top levels of the Baltic Sea food web [17].
