Content and bioavailability of trace elements in vegetarian diets.
TLDR
Despite the apparent lower bioavailability of zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium in vegetarian diets, the trace element status of most adult vegetarians appears to be adequate; children, however, appear to be more vulnerable to suboptimal zinc status.About:

Zinc requirements and the risks and benefits of zinc supplementation
TL;DR: A multidisciplinary approach will most likely result in success in the pharmacology of zinc compounds as a promising area for translational research, and the current assumed range between safe and unsafe intakes of zinc is relatively narrow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phytate in foods and significance for humans: food sources, intake, processing, bioavailability, protective role and analysis.
TL;DR: The article summarises phytate sources in foods and discusses problems of phytic acid/phytate contents of food tables and the need for standardisation of phYtic acid analysis in foods argued.

Maryse F. Bouchard,Sébastien Sauvé,Benoit Barbeau,Melissa Legrand,Marie-Ève Brodeur,Thérèse Bouffard,Elyse Limoges,David C. Bellinger,Donna Mergler +8 more
TL;DR: Exposure to manganese at levels common in groundwater is associated with intellectual impairment in children, and is more strongly associated with Performance IQ than Verbal IQ.
Journal ArticleDOI
Health effects of vegan diets
TL;DR: A vegetarian diet is associated with many health benefits because of its higher content of fiber, folic acid, vitamins C and E, potassium, magnesium, and many phytochemicals and a fat content that is more unsaturated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Apparent protein digestibility and mineral availabilities in various feed ingredients for salmonid feeds
TL;DR: Apparent digestibility of protein and availability of minerals in various feed ingredients were determined for coho salmon and rainbow trout using yttrium oxide (Y2O3) as the inert marker and passive feces collection tanks as a fractional net absorption of nutrients from diets.

Trace Elements in Human and Animal Nutrition
TL;DR: This book discusses the history of zinc, its application in agriculture, and its applications in the management of soil-Plant-Animal relations.

Hypocupremia induced by zinc therapy in adults.
TL;DR: Hypocupremia occurred in an adult with sickle cell anemia who received zinc as an antisickling agent for two years and was associated with microcytosis and relative neutropenia, which was easily corrected by copper supplementation.

A stable isotope study of zinc absorption in young men: effects of phytate and alpha-cellulose
TL;DR: The results suggest that phytate inhibits zinc absorption and high levels of dietaryphytate could result in zinc deficiency in man.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibitory effects of phytic acid and other inositol phosphates on zinc and calcium absorption in suckling rats.
TL;DR: At a high degree of phosphorylation (IP-6, IP-5), zinc and calcium uptake was inhibited, while no effect was observed for the other phosphates, Consequently, total "phytate" analysis, which includes inositol phosphates with varying degrees ofosphorylation, can give misleading information with regard to mineral availability.

Competitive Interaction of Iron and Zinc in the Diet: Consequences for Human Nutrition
TL;DR: Consideration of solutions to these problems, including conscious adjustment of the Fe/Zn ratios in human diets, foods and therapeutic nutrient supplements in order to reduce the zinc-inhibiting effects of iron, should become a priority in policy and marketing discussions within government regulatory agencies, industry and the scientific community of human and clinical nutritionists.
