An Evaluation of Speciated Plasma Arsenicals as Potential Biomarkers of Arsenic Exposure and Arsenic-Associated Diabetes in Individuals Living in Zimapan and Lagunera, Mexico

Arsenic (As) is a toxic metalloid. Inorganic arsenic (iAs) is a form of As commonly found in drinking water and in some foods. Overwhelming evidence suggest that people chronically exposed to iAs are at risk of developing cancer, or cardiovascular, neurological and metabolic diseases. Although the mechanisms underlying iAs-associated illness remain poorly characterized, a growing body of literature raises the possibility that microRNAs (miRNAs), post-transcriptional gene suppressors, may serve as mediators and/or early indicators of the pathologies associated with iAs exposure.
