Prolonged Particulate Hexavalent Chromium Exposure Induces DNA Double-Strand Breaks and Inhibits Homologous Recombination Repair in Primary Rodent Lung Cells
Biol Trace Elem Res. 2024 Mar 18. doi: 10.1007/s12011-024-04136-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] is a known lung carcinogen and a driving mechanism in human lung cells for Cr(VI)-induced lung cancer is chromosome instability, caused by prolonged Cr(VI) exposure inducing DNA double-strand breaks, while simultaneously inhibiting the repair of these breaks. In North Atlantic right whales, Cr(VI) induces breaks but does not inhibit repair. It is unclear if this repair inhibition is specific to human lung cells or occurs in other species, as it has only been considered in humans and North Atlantic r...

Dietary Iron Overload Triggers Hepatic Metabolic Disorders and Inflammation in Laying Hen
Biol Trace Elem Res. 2024 Mar 19. doi: 10.1007/s12011-024-04149-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIron, an essential trace element, is involved in various physiological processes; however, consumption of excessive iron possesses detrimental effects. In practical feed production, the iron content added to feeds often far exceeds the actual demand, resulting in an excess of iron in the body. The liver as a central regulator of iron homeostasis is susceptible to damage caused by disorders in iron metabolism. A model of hepatic iron overload in laying hens was developed in this study by incorporating iron into their diet, and t...

Cross-sectional and Longitudinal Associations Between Metal Mixtures and Serum C3, C4: Result from the Manganese ‑exposed Workers Healthy Cohort
Biol Trace Elem Res. 2024 Mar 16. doi: 10.1007/s12011-024-04143-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExposure to metal mixtures compromises the immune system, with the complement system connecting innate and adaptive immunity. Herein, we sought to explore the relationships between blood cell metal mixtures and the third and fourth components of serum complement (C3, C4). A total of 538 participants were recruited in November 2017, and 289 participants were followed up in November 2021. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis at baseline and a longitudinal analysis over 4 years. Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (...

High-energy SR-XRF Imaging of Cesium and Trace Elements in Mouse Kidneys: Short Communication
Biol Trace Elem Res. 2024 Mar 15. doi: 10.1007/s12011-024-04145-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFor understanding trace element dynamics in tissues, methods for analyzing elemental distribution and localization without destroying tissue structures and cell arrangements are desired. Synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence (SR-XRF) analysis is one of the non-destructive and multi-element simultaneous analyses. The kidney is the major excretion pathway of cesium (Cs) taken into the body, and an understanding of cesium distribution in the kidney would be useful for establishing technology to facilitate the excretion of radio...

Assessing Metal Toxicity on Crustaceans in Aquatic Ecosystems: A Comprehensive Review
Biol Trace Elem Res. 2024 Mar 12. doi: 10.1007/s12011-024-04122-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTResidual concentrations of some trace elements and lightweight metals, including cadmium, copper, lead, mercury, silver, zinc, nickel, chromium, arsenic, gallium, indium, gold, cobalt, polonium, and thallium, are widely detected in aquatic ecosystems globally. Although their origin may be natural, human activities significantly elevate their environmental concentrations. Metals, renowned pollutants, threaten various organisms, particularly crustaceans. Due to their feeding habits and habitat, crustaceans are highly exposed to c...

Comparative Toxicity of TiO < sub > 2 < /sub > and Sn-Doped TiO < sub > 2 < /sub > Nanoparticles in Zebrafish After Acute and Chronic Exposure
This study was conducted to assess the toxicological potential of synthesized pure and Sn-doped TiO2 NPs (Sn-TiO2 NPs) in zebrafish after acute and chronic exposure. The pure TiO2 NPs, 4%, and 8% Sn-TiO2 NPs were synthesized and characterized using X-ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscope, diffuse reflectance spectra, dynamic light scattering, and zeta potential analyses. The pure TiO2 NPs, 4%, and 8% Sn-TiO2 NPs were spherical with average sizes of about 40, 28, and 21 nm, respectively, indicating significant size reduction of TiO2 NPs following Sn doping. According to our results, the LC50-96h increased in the ord...

Ameliorative effect of Ononis natrix against chronic lead poisoning in mice: neurobehavioral, biochemical, and histological study
Biol Trace Elem Res. 2024 Mar 12. doi: 10.1007/s12011-024-04142-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLead (Pb) is one of the most common heavy metals with toxicological effects on many tissues in humans as well as animals. In order to counteract the toxic effects of this metal, the administration of synthetic or natural antioxidants is thus required. The aim of this study was to examine the beneficial effect of the aqueous extract of Ononis natrix (AEON) against lead acetate-induced damage from a behavioral, biochemical, and histological point of view. Forty-eight male mice were divided into four equal groups: Ctr (control); P...

Biol Trace Elem Res. 2024 Mar 12. doi: 10.1007/s12011-024-04147-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMinerals are the essential micronutrients for human health. Brown rice is a whole-grain food rich in minerals, with its bran portion limiting the application of minerals. In the present study, the changes in the contents of 23 different minerals (Na, Mg, K, Ca, B, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Se, Sb, Ba, Li, Al, As, Cd, Sn, Hg, and Pb) in brown rice were evaluated during 17, 24, 30, 35, and 48 h of germination. The results showed that germination was associated with the decreased contents of Pb, Cd, As, Al, Li, Ba, Fe, Cr, Co...
