Copper is an essential micronutrient for human bodies, whose distribution in different organs
and tissues, metabolism and physiological impact is not thoroughly explained yet. Further …

Monitoring the nutritional status of essential elements and assessing exposure of individuals
to toxic elements is of great importance for human health. Thus, the appropriate selection …

Infections are one of the main causes of mortality in elderly due to the decrease of immune
response, for which copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) are claimed to be crucial. High serum copper …

In this work, a novel fluorescent biosensor has been constructed for rapid detection of Cu (II)
via the interaction between the fluorophore groups on the surface of nitrogen-doped-carbon …

Aim Emerging evidence suggests a pathophysiological role of micronutrient dyshomeostasis
in heart failure, including promotion of adverse remodeling and clinical deterioration. We …

Salivary microbiome composition can change following exposure to environmental
toxicants, eg, heavy metals. We hypothesized that levels of salivary nutrients and metals …

Trace element concentrations, as indicators of micronutrient status of healthy centenarians,
have not been widely analyzed. This study aimed to assess trace element concentrations in …

Zinc, as an essential trace element for health, plays various biological roles in human body
functions. Serum zinc reference values are essential for assessing zinc-associated …

Abstract Zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and selenium (Se) are well-known as essential trace
elements. These elements attract a great interest, not only in the scientific world, but also in …

There is increasing evidence linking levels of trace elements (TEs) in adipose tissue with
certain chronic conditions (eg, diabetes or obesity). The objectives of this study were to …
