TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive meta-analysis was performed to draw a more evidence-based conclusion for individual metal ions, including cobalt and manganese levels, in thyroid cancer patients and non-thyroid cancer patients.

TL;DR: In this article , a comprehensive meta-analysis was performed to draw a more evidence-based conclusion for individual metal ions, including cobalt, manganese, and cobalt ion levels.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of green synthesized nano selenium (GNS) on broiler chicken growth performance, protein content, intestinal microflora, intestinal morphology, and immune response to sodium selenite (SS) as inorganic Se.

TL;DR: In this article , the effects of green synthesized nano selenium (GNS) on broiler chicken growth performance, protein content, intestinal microflora, intestinal morphology, and immune response to sodium selenite (SS) as inorganic Se.

TL;DR: In this article, the variation in renal and hepatic functioning parameters due to fluoride, Cd and Pb was investigated in Togo's phosphate processing plant at Kpeme discharges waste, containing Cd, Pb and fluoride, into the sea and on the soil.

TL;DR: In this article , the variation in renal and hepatic functioning parameters due to fluoride, Cd and Pb was investigated and correlation and multivariate tests showed that fluoride is related to the various pathologies mentioned.

TL;DR: Zinc-curcumin conjugates have exhibited enhanced antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antimicrobial and antidiabetic properties as discussed by the authors , which could also be helpful in improvement of health.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors summarized antiviral properties of different vitamins and minerals and investigated the correlation between them and their effects in COVID-19 patients, and concluded that maintaining an optimal level of micronutrients intake, particularly those with antioxidant activities, is essential to fight against oxidative stress, modulate inflammation, and boost the immune system.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors conducted a meta-analysis to compare and analyze differences in selenoprotein levels between patients with heart failure, myocardial infarction (MI), coronary heart disease (CHD), and healthy people.

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between trace elements and hypertension was investigated in 6,754 subjects from rural China, after exclusion of patients who were under 18, had incomplete data or had additional related disorders, by multi-stage simple random and cluster sampling.

TL;DR: In this article , a cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the relationship between blood cadmium (B-Cd) and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) in U.S adults ≥ 40 years old.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated the association between copper/zinc ratio and lung cancer using a random-effects model and showed that elevated serum copper/Zinc ratio might be associated with increased risk of lung cancer.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the relationship between trace elements and hypertension in rural Chinese adults and found that trace elements may be independently associated with hypertension, and that a balanced intake of trace elements is beneficial for chronic diseases such as hypertension.

TL;DR: Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) was used as the modifier to prepare gold, silver and selenium nanoparticles (APS-Au, APS-Ag and APSSe NPs) in the present study as mentioned in this paper .

TL;DR: In this article , a review aimed to investigate the dose-response of chromium and summarize the effects of the chromium supplementation on oxidative stress (OS) parameters in the literature.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of chromium supplementation on oxidative stress (OS) parameters and inflammation was investigated in the literature, and the results indicated that chromium supplements significantly increased TAC (SMD: 0.46, 95 % CI: 0,08, 0.84, I2 = 00.0 % n = 2) and significantly decreased MDA levels (SMd: −0.46; 95 %CI: − 0.86, -0.07, I 2 = 52.4 % n= 5).

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ZnYeast represents a suitable nutritional source for organically bound zinc and highlighted optimization strategies for future production of dietary ZNYeast.

TL;DR: Zinc deficiency is related to lean body mass reduction, fat deposition, and obesity as mentioned in this paper , and pre-existing zinc deficiency may contribute to obesity due to its relationship with fat deposition associated with short stature.

TL;DR: In this paper , the therapeutic effects of boron citrate and oleoylethanolamide supplementation in patients with COVID-19 were evaluated, and the results showed that the supplement significantly improved O2 saturation and respiratory rate (p < 0.01).

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the anti-cancer effects of boric acid (BA), NaB, and SPT against small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell line DMS-114 cells in vitro.
