    Abstract
    Converging evidence indicates heavy metal-induced genes, transcription factors , and microRNAs are critical pathological components of metabolic syndrome and cognitive impairment. Thus, our goals are to identify the interaction of mixed heavy metals with genes, TFs, and miRNAs involved in MetS and its components, as well as cognitive impairment development. The most commonly retrieved genes for each disease were different, but essential biological pathways such as oxidative stress, altered lipoprotein metabolism, fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis, apoptosis, the IL-6...
