Zinc depletion suppresses tumor growth in miceBiological Trace Element Research - Tập 59 - Trang 23-29 - 1997
Atsüshi Takeda, Kazühiko Goto, Shoji Okada
The hypothesis that in tumor-bearing animals an increase of host hepatic zinc
metallothionein (Zn-MT) causes a restriction of zinc in the tumor tissue was
studied. Three types of tumors were induced in laboratory mice by cell
transplant. Tumor growth appears to be inhibited under zinc-deficient
conditions, even in cases where zinc deficiency was started after tumor cell
transplant. The survival ti... hiện toàn bộ
Measurement of Iron in Flour and Commonly-Used Breads Baked in Isfahan, Iran: A Risk Assessment Study with Monte Carlo SimulationBiological Trace Element Research - - Trang 1-8 - 2024

Fortification of highly-consumed foods such as bread is an easy and cheap
strategy to combat the iron deficiency anemia. However, there have sometimes
been some side effects such as iron overload and digestive problems.
Accordingly, this study aimed to examine the amount of iron as well as its
non-carcinogenic risks in commonly-used types of Iranian flour and breads
(Barbary, Lavash, and Tafton) i... hiện toàn bộ
Maternal and Umbilical Cord Blood Levels of Zinc and Copper in Active Labor Versus Elective Caesarean Delivery at Khartoum Hospital, SudanBiological Trace Element Research - Tập 169 - Trang 52-55 - 2015

A case–control study was conducted in Khartoum Hospital Sudan to determine
maternal and umbilical cord blood levels of zinc and copper in active labor
versus elective cesarean delivery. Cases were women delivered vaginally and
controls were women delivered by elective cesarean (before initiation of labor).
Paired maternal and cord zinc and copper were measured using atomic absorption

Mechanism of cadmium-induced cytotoxicity in rat hepatocytesBiological Trace Element Research - Tập 42 - Trang 31-41 - 1994
Toshiaki Koizumi, Toshiki Yokota, Kazuo T. Suzuki
Exposure of rat hepatocytes to cadmium below 50 μM for a short period (10 min)
resulted in cellular acidification. Conversely, exposure to Cd more than 50 μM
for a long period (60 min) caused cellular alkalinization accompanied by
membrane damage as reflected by decrease in cellular K content and loss of
intracellular lactic dehydrogenase. In hepatocytes exposed to 5 μM Cd, a
concentration suffici... hiện toàn bộ
Selenium-Based Novel Epigenetic Regulators Offer Effective Chemotherapeutic Alternative with Wider Safety Margins in Experimental Colorectal CancerBiological Trace Element Research - Tập 200 - Trang 635-646 - 2021

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.
Despite the critical involvement of epigenetic modifications in CRC, the studies
on the chemotherapeutic efficacy of various epigenetic regulators remain
limited. Considering the key roles of histone deacetylases (HDACs) in the
regulation of diverse cellular processes, several HDAC inhibitors are implied as
effective th... hiện toàn bộ
Copper Changes Intestinal Microbiota of the Cecum and Rectum in Female Mice by 16S rRNA Gene SequencingBiological Trace Element Research - Tập 193 - Trang 445-455 - 2019

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of high
concentrations of copper (Cu) on the cecum and rectum of intestinal microbiota
in female mice. Twenty-four Kunming mice were weighed and randomly divided into
two groups (n = 12 per group) including the control group and Cu group. Cu group
was given drinking water with 5 mg/kg-bw copper chloride (CuCl2), while the
control group wa... hiện toàn bộ
