Heavy metals exposure, lipid peroxidation and heart rate variability alteration: Association and mediation analyses in urban adults.

Abstract:

:Exposure to heavy metals was reported to be associated with heart rate variability (HRV) alteration. However, possible pathway of such association remains unclear. In this research, we investigated the possible role of lipid peroxidation in the associations between urinary heavy metals and HRV. We performed a cross-sectional study using baseline data of Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort. Urinary heavy metals (including lead, barium, antimony, cadmium, zinc, copper, iron and manganese), urinary 8-iso-prostaglandin-F2α levels (common biomarker for lipid peroxidation) and HRV indices (SDNN, r-MSSD, low frequency, high frequency and total power) were measured among 3022 participants. We conducted multivariable linear regression models to quantify associations between urinary 8-iso-prostaglandin-F2α (8-iso-PGF2α) and heavy metals or HRV indices. The potential role of 8-iso-PGF2α in the association of urinary heavy metals with HRV was evaluated through mediation analyses. After adjusting for potential confounders, urinary manganese, iron, copper, zinc, cadmium, antimony and barium were identified to be negatively associated with one or more HRV parameters. Each one-unit growth of log-transformed levels of urinary manganese, iron, copper, zinc, antimony and barium was associated with a 1.9%, 1.5%, 4.7%, 4.0%, 2.7% and 1.3% decrease in SDNN, respectively. We observed positive dose-response relationships between all eight urinary heavy metals and 8-iso-PGF2α, as well as negative association of urinary 8-iso-PGF2α with SDNN and total power (all P trend<0.05). The proportions mediated by 8-iso-PGF2α on SDNN were 4.6% for manganese, 9.3% for iron, 19.8% for antimony and 11.0% for barium. The proportions mediated by 8-iso-PGF2α on total power were 6.9% for manganese and 10.1% for cadmium (all P value < 0.05). This study suggested that urinary manganese, iron, copper, zinc, cadmium, antimony and barium were negatively associated with HRV indices. Lipid peroxidation may partly mediate the associations of urinary manganese, iron, cadmium, antimony and barium with specific HRV indices.
