Exposure to Dietary Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Dioxins and Its Relationship with Subclinical Coronary Atherosclerosis: The Aragon Workers Health Study

摘要

Experimental evidence has revealed that exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dioxins directly impairs endothelial function and induces atherosclerosis progression. In the general population, despite a small number of recent studies finding a link between PCBs, and stroke and myocardial infraction, the association with early coronary atherosclerosis has not been examined yet.
