Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Acrylamide is formed when foods high in carbohydrates and low in proteins are cooked at a high temperature. Rodents exposed to acrylamide have shown impaired development and reproductive toxicity. Using food content data for acrylamide, dietary acrylamide intake was estimated among 428 preschool children and 392 pregnant women. The study also assessed the associations between acrylamide intake and sex hormone levels among these subjects. The estimates were 21.0μg/d in preschool children and 19.6μg/d in pregnant women. Acrylamide intake was significantly positively associated with urinary levels of testosterone and androst-5-ene-3-beta, 17 beta diol in boys. A higher intake of acrylamide was significantly positively associated with higher levels of testosterone at the 10th week in women with female fetuses and umbilical cord estradiol at the delivery of female babies.
