Association between body mass index and arsenic methylation in three studies of Bangladeshi adults and adolescents

Background: Water-borne arsenic (As) exposure is a global health problem. Once ingested, inorganic As (iAs) is methylated to mono-methyl (MMA) and dimethyl (DMA) arsenicals via one-carbon metabolism (OCM). People with higher relative percentage of MMA (MMA%) in urine (inefficient As methylation), ha...
