TAILIEUCHUNG - Maternal and fetal exposure to pesticides associated to genetically modified foods in Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada

Yet the shift towards health-systems strengthening and its support through the International Health Partnership (IHP+) and other related initiatives offer a framework within which SRH may be more broadly addressed. The support offered to ministries of health by the UNFPA and WHO country offices has been marked by greater collaboration and a stronger functional focus. This has been achieved through harmonization of activities in the United Nations Development Assistance Framework, and by practical engagement of technical working groups and similar structures for SRH. For SRH, the increasing momentum towards the 2015 MDG deadline provides a necessary opportunity for reflection, planning and repositioning | GModel RTX-6510 ARTICLE IN PRESS Reproductive Toxicology xxx 2011 xxx-xxx Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Reproductive Toxicology journal homepage locate reprotox Maternal and fetal exposure to pesticides associated to genetically modified foods in Eastern Townships of Quebec Canada Aziz Arisa b c Samuel Leblancc a Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology University of Sherbrooke Hospital Centre Sherbrooke Quebec Canada b Clinical Research Centre of Sherbrooke University Hospital Centre Sherbrooke Quebec Canada c Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences University of Sherbrooke Sherbrooke Quebec Canada ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article history Received 29June 2010 Received in revised form 26 January 2011 Accepted 13 February 2011 Available online xxx Keywords Pregnant women Maternal and fetal blood Nonpregnant women Genetically modified foods Glyphosate Gluphosinate Cry1Ab Pesticides associated to genetically modified foods PAGMF are engineered to tolerate herbicides such as glyphosate GLYP and gluphosinate GLUF or insecticides such as the bacterial toxin bacillus thuringien-sis Bt . The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between maternal and fetal exposure and to determine exposure levels of GLYP and its metabolite aminomethyl phosphoric acid AMPA GLUF and its metabolite 3-methylphosphinicopropionic acid 3-MPPA and Cry1Ab protein a Bt toxin in Eastern Townships of Quebec Canada. Blood of thirty pregnant women PW and thirty-nine nonpregnant women NPW were studied. Serum GLYP and GLUF were detected in NPW and not detected in PW. Serum 3-MPPA and CryAb1 toxin were detected in PW their fetuses and NPW. This is the first study to reveal the presence of circulating PAGMF in women with and without pregnancy paving the way for a new field in reproductive toxicology including nutrition and utero-placental toxicities. 2011 Elsevier Inc.
