Association of brominated flame retardants with diabetes and metabolic syndrome in the U.S. population, 2003-2004. Lim, J., Lee, D., & Jacobs, D. R Diabetes care, 31(9):1802–7, September, 2008.
Association of brominated flame retardants with diabetes and metabolic syndrome in the U.S. population, 2003-2004. [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Chlorinated persistent organic pollutants (POPs), endocrine disruptors accumulated in adipose tissue, were associated with diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Brominated flame retardants (BFRs), such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) or polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), are another class of POPs for which body burden is increasing. Cross-sectional associations of serum concentrations of BFRs with diabetes and metabolic syndrome were studied.
