Arsenic and Obesity: A Compound Risk Factor for Diabetes? with Mirek Stýblo
Manage episode 232707950 series 1330904
Although obesity is a major risk factor for diabetes, certain environmental agents, such as arsenic, also appear to contribute to the disease. There is evidence that an individual’s risk of arsenic-related disease depends on how efficiently he or she metabolizes arsenic. But what if that individual is both obese and exposed to arsenic? In this podcast, guest Mirek Stýblo discusses his recent work exploring the role that diet plays not just in arsenic metabolism but also in the diabetogenic effects of arsenic.
