Summary: Impaired levels of trace elements such as selenium, zinc, copper, iron, manganese, and iodine can negatively impact the thyroid endocrine system by affecting oxidative stress and antioxidant defense. There is a limited number of studies that directly correlate trace element supplementation with the prevention or slowing down of thyroid diseases and the improvement of the antioxidant profile. However, some studies have shown that supplementation with zinc and selenium can reduce lipid peroxidation levels and improve antioxidant activity in thyroid diseases like hypothyroidism and autoimmune thyroiditis. This systematic review provides an overview of the current knowledge on the relationship between trace elements and thyroid diseases in terms of oxidoreductive homeostasis.

Summary: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition that depends on estrogen, and its cause is still uncertain, possibly related to oxidative stress. Research mainly focuses on the potential role of trace elements in the disease, but more comprehensive studies are needed to confirm the role of these elements in the pathomechanism of endometriosis.

Summary: The prevalence of obesity is increasing globally and has negative effects on the socioeconomic system. Metals and metalloids have significant effects on the immune system and metabolism, and are influenced by factors related to obesity. Further research is needed to understand the association between metals/metalloids and obesity-related metabolic abnormalities, highlighting the importance of inflammation and oxidative stress.

Summary: Centella asiatica was found to be an efficient plant for simultaneous extraction of ten trace elements from industrial effluent, showing significant reductions in toxic metals after a 28-day trial. The plant also exhibited improved growth and effective localization of metals in the roots. Additionally, phytoremediation trials with Clarias batrachus confirmed the successful reduction of metal burden in fish, suggesting its utility for bio-monitoring purposes.

Summary: The study found that oxidative stress and trace elements have a significant impact on male infertility, with increased oxidation and lipid peroxidation in infertile men's semen, decreased antioxidant capacity, and lower levels of trace elements like zinc and magnesium. There was a significant correlation between trace elements and oxidative markers with sperm motility.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the relationship between complaints and serum trace element and oxidative stress levels in patients with BPPV. The study found that serum Cu levels were lower in the patient group, and Total Thiol and Native Thiol values were also lower in patients with BPPV. Disulfide values, on the other hand, were significantly higher in the disease group. The study suggests that serum oxidative stress and trace elements play a role in the pathophysiology of BPPV.

Summary: This research reveals the role of exogenous nitric oxide (NO) in alleviating vanadium (V)-induced phytotoxicity in soybean plants. It improves plant biomass, growth, and photosynthetic attributes by regulating carbohydrates and plants biochemical composition, and enhances guard cells and stomatal aperture of soybean leaves. NO supplementation also regulates plant hormones, phenolic profile, and detoxifies excessive V content, thereby reducing oxidative stress and enhancing crop development and production.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of arsenic (As) contamination on tomato plants and the potential use of silicon nanoparticles (Si NPs) to mitigate this effect. The results show that higher concentrations of As in irrigation water lead to greater uptake and translocation of As in tomato plants. However, the application of Si NPs reduces As translocation and tomato yield. The increased production of photosynthetic pigments and improved enzymatic activity suggest that Si NPs can help tomato plants adapt to high concentrations of As.

Summary: This study analyzed the correlation between oxidative stress status and trace elements in pulmonary TB patients at the beginning and during 6 months of anti-TB treatment. The findings indicate that anti-TB treatment could reduce oxidative stress status and increase the levels of trace elements.

Summary: The hypothesis that individuals' macro- and micronutrient status combined with antiviral drugs and herbs can be an ally against COVID-19 has sparked a global discussion on management strategies. While there is a debate on the effectiveness of vitamins, micronutrients, and traditional Chinese medicine in preventing the infection, it is acknowledged that assessing an individual's metabolic status is crucial in addressing deficiencies through diet, supplementation, and lifestyle changes.

Summary: In recent years, there has been increasing awareness of the role of oxidative stress in brain health, leading to a growing interest in the use of dietary antioxidants as possible treatment strategies for neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). This review article examines the role of oxidative stress in the development of NDs and explores the potential of dietary antioxidants in the prevention and treatment of these diseases.

Summary: Although puberty influences obesity progression, the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of sexual maturation in obesity-related complications are largely unknown. This study investigates the impact of puberty on oxidative stress, inflammation, and trace element blood levels in children with obesity. The findings suggest that pubertal development improves inflammatory and oxidative control in obese children, possibly through trace element-mediated buffering mechanisms.

Summary: This study investigated the age-related changes of thyroid hormones, serum oxidative biomarkers, and trace elements in healthy Saanen goat kids during the first three months of life. The results suggest that specific age-related reference values are essential for proper interpretation of the serum levels of thyroid hormones and manganese in these goat kids. Additionally, improving the antioxidant system during this critical period is crucial due to the high level of thyroid hormones and their relationship with oxidative biomarkers and trace elements.

Summary: Studies have shown that PPAR beta/delta activation increases the FAO potential in human and mouse T cells, as well as in mouse secondary lymphoid organs. It also induces Treg polarization in human primary T cells. However, the signature of PPAR beta/delta activation in mouse blood T cells may be masked by exercise training.

Summary: Sports nutrition is crucial for sports health, but assessing the nutritional needs of endurance athletes remains complex and professionals often have divergent views and advice. Understanding the molecular mechanisms related to exercise adaptation and endurance performance improvement helps define specific needs for training load and endurance exercise. However, the promotion of nutritional optimization strategies may paradoxically lead to nutritional imbalances and health risks for athletes.
