Protective Effect of Selenium-enriched Peptide from Cardamine violifolia on Ethanol-induced L-02 Hepatocyte Injury
In this study, we investigated the protective effect of selenium (Se)-enriched peptide isolated from Cardamine violifolia (SPE) against ethanol-induced liver injury. Cell proliferation assays show that different concentrations of SPE protect human embryonic liver L-02 cells against ethanol-induced injury in a dose-dependent manner. Treatment with 12 μmol/L Se increases the cell survival rate (82.44%) and reduces the release of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate transaminase, lactate dehydrogenase, and apoptosis rate. SPE treatment with 12 μmol/L Se effectively reduces the concentration of intracellular reactive oxygen s...

Distributions and Trends of the Global Burden of DKD Attributable to Lead Exposure: A Systematic Analysis of GBD from 1990 to 2019
Biol Trace Elem Res. 2024 Mar 28. doi: 10.1007/s12011-024-04156-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLong-term exposure to lead is associated with an increased risk of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). However, limited data exist on global trends in DKD burden attributable to lead exposure, especially across diverse regions categorized by socioeconomic level. We aimed to assess the spatiotemporal changes in DKD burden attributable to lead exposure from 1990 to 2019 across 204 countries and regions with varying socio-demographic index (SDI) metrics. This retrospective analysis utilized data from the Global Burden of Disease Study ...

Sublethal Concentrations of Cadmium and Lead: Effects on Hemato-Biochemical Parameters and Tissue Accumulation in Wallagu attu
This study assesses the effects of exposure to Cd and Pb sublethal concentrations in water on Wallagu attu. A total of 48 fish with an average body weight of 145.5 ± 26 g were distributed among three groups (control, Cd-treated, and Pb-treated) within 60 L fiberglass tanks. They were exposed to 30% sublethal concentrations of Cd and Pb for durations of 1, 15, and 30 days. Following this exposure, an assessment was conducted on metal bioaccumulation and hemato-biochemical responses. Results revealed a significantly (P < 0.05) higher concentration of heavy metals in the fish tissues of metals exposed groups than in the c...

Associations of Urinary Nickel with NAFLD and Liver Fibrosis in the USA: A Nationwide Cross ‑Sectional Study
This study aimed to examine the associations among urinary nickel, NAFLD, and liver fibrosis. The data utilized in this study were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2017-2020. A comprehensive screening process was conducted, resulting in the inclusion of a total of 3169 American adults in the analysis. The measurement of urinary nickel was conducted through inductively coupled-plasma mass spectrometry. Vibration-controlled transient elastography was employed to assess the controlled attenuation parameter and liver stiffness measurement as indicators for NAFLD and liver fibrosis, respectivel...
