Palliative Effect of Combined Application of Zinc and Selenium on Reproductive Injury Induced by Tripterygium Glycosides in Male Rats
Biol Trace Elem Res. 2024 Jan 8. doi: 10.1007/s12011-023-04054-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe long-term use of tripterygium glycosides (TG) can lead to male reproductive damage. Research indicates that zinc and selenium exhibit a synergistic effect in the male reproductive system, with the combined preparation demonstrating superior therapeutic effects compared to individual preparations. The purpose of this study was to explore the specific mechanism by which zinc and selenium mitigate reproductive toxicity induced by TG in male rats. Rats were randomly assigned to three groups: control group (C group), model group ...

Concentration of Heavy Metals in Traditional and Industrial Fruit Juices from Iran: Probabilistic Risk Assessment Study
Biol Trace Elem Res. 2024 Jan 8. doi: 10.1007/s12011-023-04049-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExposure to heavy metals can endanger the health of exposed people in the long term. The consumption of fruit juice is increasing; it is important to estimate the health risk of consumers due to heavy metals. The current study was carried out for the analysis of toxic metals (lead (Pb), arsenic (As), and cadmium (Cd)) and essential elements (copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn)) in 60 samples of traditional and industrial fruit juices (10 samples of different brands of apple, orange, grape, peach, mango, and pineapple) in Hamadan, West Ira...

Serum and Seminal Plasma Levels of Lead and Arsenic in Cigarette Smokers and Their Relation to the Semen Parameters
Biol Trace Elem Res. 2024 Jan 5. doi: 10.1007/s12011-023-04039-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMale infertility along with altered semen parameters have been related to smoking. Smoking-related elevations in serum and seminal lead (Pb) and arsenic (As) may play a role in mediating the toxic effects of smoking on seminogram. This research aims to determine whether smoking has any significant impact on Pb and As levels in the seminal plasma and serum, as well as on the various semen parameters, when compared to nonsmokers. In total, 80 adult males were included: 60 smokers and 20 age-matched nonsmokers. Based on the number ...

Upregulation of Intracellular Zinc Ion Level after Differentiation of the Neural Stem/Progenitor Cells In Vitro with the Changes in Gene Expression of Zinc Transporters
Biol Trace Elem Res. 2024 Jan 5. doi: 10.1007/s12011-023-04033-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe measured the intracellular zinc ion concentration of murine fetal neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) and that in the differentiated cells. The NSPCs cultured with 1.5 μM Zn2+ proliferated slightly faster than that in the zinc-deficient medium and the intracellular zinc concentration of the NSPCs and that of their differentiated cells (DCs) cultured with 1.5 μM Zn2+ was 1.34-fold and 2.00-fold higher than those in the zinc-deficient medium, respectively. The zinc transporter genes upregulated over the 3.5-fold change were ...
