Summary: Trace elements like copper, selenium, and zinc play important roles in metabolism. A study in the representative U.S. population found that higher supplementation and serum concentrations of copper and selenium were associated with abnormal glucose metabolism. Therefore, caution is advised in supplementing copper, selenium, and zinc in non-deficient individuals.

Summary: The study found that most pregnant women in Poland do not meet the requirement for essential elements and vitamins through diet, with a high proportion using supplements. Women with higher education levels, leisure time, and engagement in physical activity are more likely to meet the average demand for most nutrients, while factors such as low BMI, higher stress levels, and late medical visits are associated with lower compliance with recommendations. Higher socioeconomic status is correlated with higher selenium concentration, BMI over 25 and multiparity with higher copper concentration, and older age with higher vitamin E concentration in plasma.

Summary: Bioavailability refers to the fraction of a substance that is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and enters the bloodstream. This study aimed to assess the bioavailability of selenium (Se) from dietary supplements and explore the influence of diet type on relative bioavailability. The research used a two-stage in vitro digestion model to simulate the digestion of food containing dietary supplements. Selenium bioavailability ranged from 19.31% to 66.10% in the presence of food matrix. Sodium selenate had the highest bioavailability, followed by organic forms and sodium selenite. The basic diet with moderate protein and high carbohydrate and fiber content positively influenced Se bioavailability. The pharmaceutical form of the product also affected bioavailability, with tablets having the highest bioavailability, followed by capsules and coated tablets.

Summary: This article reviews the association between essential trace elements intake or supplementation (especially zinc, copper, iron, and selenium) and the risk of esophageal cancer. Zinc intake may decrease the risk of esophageal cancer, while copper supplementation remains uncertain in its association with EC risk. Total iron consumption is associated with lower risk, while heme iron intake may increase risk. Selenium intake shows a protective effect against EC, especially for individuals with low baseline selenium levels.

Summary: This study assessed hair and serum trace element and mineral levels in dairy cows in relation to daily milk yield. The results showed that serum trace element levels, in particular Se and Zn, were significantly associated with milk productivity in dairy cows. Serum minerals including Ca, Mg, and P were also found to be higher in highly productive cows, suggesting a potential tool for modulation of milk productivity.

Summary: The study compared the plasma levels of copper, selenium, and zinc in critically ill COVID-19 patients and less severe COVID-19 patients. It found that ICU patients had lower selenium and zinc levels and higher copper levels compared to hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients. Lower zinc levels were associated with more septic shock and increased mortality, while lower copper or selenium levels were associated with a longer time under mechanical ventilation. The data support the need for further studies on the potential benefits of zinc, copper, and selenium supplementation in severe COVID-19 patients.

Summary: The study measured serum levels of trace metals in 80 CL patients and 80 healthy volunteers, finding significantly lower zinc, iron, and selenium levels, and higher copper levels, in CL patients. Additionally, CL patients had a significantly lower zinc/copper ratio compared to controls. These alterations in trace element levels may be part of the organism's defense strategy in response to CL infection. Serum levels of these trace elements could serve as a useful marker for estimating the prognosis of CL infection.

Summary: Although selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn) are essential nutrients for human health, their deficiencies affect a significant portion of the global population. Biofortification of pea crops with Se/Zn can effectively increase the nutritional value. This study investigated the effects of foliar application of sodium selenate (Se) or zinc oxide (Zn) on seed accumulation of Se and Zn in two varieties of peas.

Summary: This study analyzed the concentrations of PCDDs, PCDFs, and dl-PCBs in breast milk samples of 110 breastfeeding women from an urban area. The results showed significant correlations between dl-PCBs concentration and toxicity equivalent with mothers' age, as well as a positive association between total toxicity equivalent of all substances analyzed and the frequency of fish and dairy products consumption. These findings may provide a basis for further research on exposure to these pollutants and their mechanisms of action.

Summary: Cadmium exposure has been linked with breast cancer risk, but the relationship is inconsistent and may be influenced by various factors. The mechanisms underlying the carcinogenic effects of cadmium are not well understood, with its estrogenic potential being the main focus. However, other mechanisms, such as epigenetic alterations and interference with DNA repair pathways, have also been suggested. Limited evidence from experimental studies calls for further research on the molecular mechanisms of cadmium accumulation and its impact on estrogen receptors, as well as the influence on DNA damage and epigenome in breast cancer development.

Summary: Disturbances in melatonin secretion and its receptors MT1 and MT2 are observed in depressed patients, affecting their circadian rhythm and sleep-wake cycle. This study aimed to evaluate the methylation profile of melatonin receptor genes MTNR1A and MTNR1B in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of depressed patients. The methylation pattern differed in depressed patients, with lower methylation levels of MTNR1A compared to healthy controls. Moreover, melatonin concentration was negatively correlated with MTNR1B methylation level in the depressed patients. These findings suggest that the methylation profile of melatonin receptors in PBMC may serve as a complementary molecular marker in depression diagnosis.

Summary: The production, marketing and consumption of grape juices have been constantly increasing in recent years due to consumers' search for products with proven health benefits. Brazilian data shows that grape juice produced from V. labrusca L. and hybrids has a lower soluble solids content, with more than half of the production falling between 14 and 16 degrees Brix. This suggests the need to re-discuss the 16 degrees Brix limit established by CXS 247-2005.
