PG - 112948 LID - S0013-9351(22)00275-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.envres.2022.112948 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Experimental studies have shown the diabetogenic potential of inorganic arsenic (iAs); however, the epidemiological evidence is still inconclusive. This could be explained by differences in exposure, metabolism efficiency, nutritional and genetic factors. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) prevalence with arsenic exposure and metabolism, considering one-carbon metabolism nutrient intake and arsenite methyltransferase (AS3MT) polymorphisms. METHODS: From healthy controls of a case control study for female breast cancer in northern Mexico, 227 self-reported diabetic women were age-matched with 454 non-diabetics. Participants were interviewed about dietary, sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Urinary iAs metabolites were determined by HPLC-ICP-MS, methylation efficiency parameters were calculated, and AS3MT c.860 T > C and c.529-56G > C genotypes were determined. Unconditional logistic regression models were used to evaluate associations. RESULTS: Total arsenic in urine (TAs) ranged from 0.73 to 248.12 mug/L with a median of 10.48 mug/L. In unadjusted analysis, TAs (mug/g) was significantly higher in cases than controls, but not when expressed as TAs (mug/L). Cases had significantly lower urinary monomethylarsonic acid percentage (%MMA), first methylation ratio (FMR), creatinine, and choline and selenium intakes. In multi-adjusted models and in women without HTA history T2DM showed significant positive associations with %iAs and FMR, respectively, and a significant negative association with %DMA. In participants with HTA history there was a marginal positive association (p = 0.08) between T2DM and TAs concentrations (mug/g) without other significant associations. CONCLUSIONS: Our results support an association between T2DM prevalence and iAs metabolism but not with urinary arsenic levels. However, elucidation of the interplay among iAs metabolism, T2DM and HTA merit further studies. CI - Copyright (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
