Abstract
Riverside communities in the Amazon consume fish daily, serving as the main source of protein, thus increasing the risk of exposure to MeHg. However, Amazonian populations are also exposed to lead (Pb) through the consumption of cassava flour. The study population demonstrates a high level of Selenium (Se) in blood samples, without demonstrating intoxication by the element. Thus, studies …

Abstract
There are wide variations in the concentrations of the biomarkers and toxicity related to lead (Pb), despite similar levels of exposure and this is hypothetically related genetic differences in the enzymes that metabolize metal. However, very little is known about the genetic effects on metabolism and toxicity induced by Pb. Therefore, this project aims to assess the gene-metal interactio…

Abstract
Studies suggest that exposure to toxic metals, such as lead (Pb) may induce various epigenetic changes, such as changes in DNA methylation profile, chromatin remodeling, as well as the expression of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), among them micro RNAs (miRNAs). Several miRNAs are being detected and related to metal exposure; however, there are still many differences in the expression profiles …
