Summary: Pituitary hormones like prolactin and luteinizing hormone were found to be higher in breast milk from mothers of preterm infants compared to term infants. Infant formulas have higher total protein content but do not contain detectable levels of pituitary hormones.

Summary: Cancer remains a major cause of death worldwide, and early diagnosis is critical for improved survival rates and treatment success. Studies have shown that cancer patients generally have elevated serum copper levels and diminished zinc levels, with inconsistent changes in selenium and iron levels depending on the type of cancer. Further research is needed to investigate whether these element concentrations can predict the survival probability of cancer patients.

Summary: Using near-infrared spectroscopy, the study found that mother's own milk feeding had minimal impact on splanchnic oxygenation, while preterm formula feeding led to a persistent decrease in splanchnic oxygenation. Fortified human milk feeding transiently increased splanchnic energy expenditure.

Summary: Losses of vitamin B12 during processing and storage of foods and supplements are influenced by both reducing and oxidising agents. The presence of different metal ions affects the stability of cyanocobalamin, with some ions increasing and others decreasing its loss. Only the redox inactive metal ion Zn2+ can inhibit cyanocobalamin loss in all evaluated matrices.

Summary: Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended during the first 6 months of life, with breast milk composition being influenced by maternal diet. Polyphenols and carotenoids present in breast milk have antioxidant activities and potential benefits for infants, with their content depending on maternal intake and various factors. Further research is needed to understand the relationship between these phytochemicals and development of infants.

Summary: This review evaluated the relationship between dietary intake of trace elements (such as selenium, zinc, iron, copper, and cadmium) and the incidence of breast cancer. The study found that high dietary heme iron intake may be a potential risk factor for breast cancer.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of phosphorus (P) on the seed yield and the yields and contents of dietary fiber, lignan, iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), and copper (Cu) in flaxseed. The results showed that appropriate P application increased seed yield and levels of lignan, Fe, and Cu, but decreased the levels of dietary fiber, Zn, and Mn.

Summary: Micronutrient deficiencies are widespread among people in sub-Saharan Africa due to limited access to micronutrient-rich food sources. Research in Ethiopia and Malawi shows geographical variation in the micronutrient composition of staple cereal grains, influenced by soil and environmental factors. Understanding these geographical effects is crucial for designing interventions to alleviate micronutrient deficiencies.

Summary: The study determined the stable isotopic compositions of iron, copper, and zinc of six reference materials of biological origin, showing good agreement with certified values. By comparing 39 possible pair-wise isotopic values, 11 significantly different pairs were identified. The differences identified were mostly within the same order of magnitude as the estimated mean uncertainties.

Summary: It was found in the study that higher serum levels of zinc, copper, and iron were associated with the risk of metabolic syndrome and the number of metabolic factors, independent of BMI and insulin resistance.

Summary: Trace metals like iron, manganese, copper, and zinc are essential for development, growth, and metabolism, with deficiencies or toxicities impacting health. The interaction between gut microbiota and trace metals plays a crucial role in host health, offering potential insights for therapeutic strategies.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum copper, zinc, and copper/zinc ratio levels and survival after breast cancer diagnosis. The results showed that a higher copper/zinc ratio was associated with lower overall survival rates. However, there was no significant association between serum copper or zinc levels alone and survival after breast cancer diagnosis.

Summary: Microglia do not provide protection against Cryptococcus neoformans brain infection, but may act as a reservoir for early infection and a site for the fungus to access copper micronutrient.

Summary: High breast milk exposure in preterm infants is associated with a cortical imaging phenotype that resembles that of term-born infants, and this effect appears to be dose-dependent.

Summary: The study investigated the use of soybean-based milk as a carrier to release and convey antioxidants from turmeric, compared to cow milk. It was found that adding turmeric paste to milk resulted in the release of turmeric antioxidants, with soy milk samples showing the highest protein, iron, zinc, total phenol content, and antioxidant activity. This study identified a cheap and additional nutrient source for malnourished populations in developing countries, utilizing soy milk to produce golden milk.
