Copper Intoxication in South American Camelids-Review of the Literature and First Report of a Case in a Vicu ña (Vicugna vicugna)
Biol Trace Elem Res. 2024 Feb 29. doi: 10.1007/s12011-024-04102-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCopper (Cu), an essential trace element in the metabolism of mammals, plays a central role in various metabolic processes. However, overdosing can lead to severe symptoms and even fatalities. Chronic Cu intoxication continues to be a problem in grazing and domestic animals, with sheep being particularly sensitive. There are few comparative studies on its impact on South American camelids (SACs). Therefore, this work presents the results of literature research combined with a case report on a 3-year-old female vicuña (Vicugna v...

Trace Minerals in Laying Hen Diets and Their Effects on Egg Quality
Biol Trace Elem Res. 2024 Mar 1. doi: 10.1007/s12011-024-04121-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWith the advancement in the egg industry sector, egg quality has assumed great significance in certain countries. Enhancements in the nutritional value of eggs may have direct affirmative consequences for daily nutrient intake and therefore for human health. Thus, affirmative improvement in egg quality boosts consumer preferences for eggs. Also, the improvement in eggshell quality can avoid the disposal of broken eggs and consequently economic losses. Therefore, poultry nutrition and mineral supplements have a significant impact...

Role of SIRT1 in Potentially Toxic Trace Elements (Lead, Fluoride, Aluminum and Cadmium) Associated Neurodevelopmental Toxicity
Biol Trace Elem Res. 2024 Feb 28. doi: 10.1007/s12011-024-04116-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe formation of the central nervous system is a meticulously planned and intricate process. Any modification to this process has the potential to disrupt the structure and operation of the brain, which could result in deficiencies in neurological growth. When neurotoxic substances are present during the early stages of development, they can be exceptionally dangerous. Prenatally, the immature brain is extremely vulnerable and is therefore at high risk in pregnant women associated with occupational exposures. Lead, fluoride, al...

Antagonistic Effect of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Dietary Supplementation Against Chronic Copper Waterborne Exposure on Growth, Behavioral, Biochemical, and Gene Expression Alterations of African Catfish, Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822)
Biol Trace Elem Res. 2024 Feb 28. doi: 10.1007/s12011-024-04115-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe harmful impact of waterborne copper (Cu) as a common abiotic stressor in aquatic environments has gained much more interest. The present study aimed to investigate the utilization of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) dietary supplementation to mitigate the chronic toxicity of Cu in African catfish (Clarias gariepinus). Two hundred and forty fish (92.94 ± 0.13 g) were assigned into six groups for 60 days. Control (C), ZnONPs20, and ZnONPs30 groups were fed on basal diets fortified with 0, 20, and 30 mg kg-1 ZnONPs without C...

Association of Zinc Intake, Tobacco Smoke Exposure, With Metabolic Syndrome: Evidence from NHANES 2007-2018
The objective was to explore the effect modification of zinc (Zn) intake levels on the relationship of tobacco smoke exposure and risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in children and adolescents. We used data from 2007-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (N = 3701). MetS was considered as main endpoint. Weighted multivariable logistic regression models showed that high cotinine level (≥ 0.05 ng/mL) was associated with increased odds of MetS [odds ratio = 1.54, 95% confidence interval: 1.01, 2.36], and the association between Zn intake levels and MetS did not demonstrate statistical significance. Importantl...

Association Between Dietary Antioxidant Quality Score (DAQS) and All-Cause Mortality in Hypertensive Adults: A Retrospective Cohort Study from the NHANES Database
This study aimed to explore the association between the dietary antioxidant quality scores (DAQS) and all-cause mortality in hypertensive adults. In this retrospective cohort study, participants aged ≥ 18 years with hypertension were extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NAHNES) 2007-2018. Outcome was all-cause mortality of hypertensive participants. DAQS was the exposure variable calculated based on the intake of vitamin A, C, E, zinc, selenium, and magnesium. The weighted univariable and multivariable COX proportional hazards regression models were utilized to explore the association betw...
