Trace element transfer from the mother to the newborn — investigations on triplets of colostrum, maternal and umbilical cord sera
TLDR
The results of this study indicate that an active transport mechanism for the transport of Ca, Mn, Rb, and Zn from the mother to the newborn exists, whereas Cs, Li, and Sr follow concentration gradients.Abstract:

Trafficking of the copper-ATPases, ATP7A and ATP7B: Role in copper homeostasis
TL;DR: An update on the current state of the understanding of the localization and trafficking properties of the copper-ATPases in cells and tissues, the molecular signals and posttranslational interactions that govern their trafficking activities, and the cellular basis for the clinical phenotypes associated with disease-causing mutations are provided.

Perinatal and Childhood Exposure to Cadmium, Manganese, and Metal Mixtures and Effects on Cognition and Behavior: A Review of Recent Literature
TL;DR: There is suggestive evidence that prenatal/childhood Cd exposure may be associated with poorer cognition, but additional research is clearly needed, and no studies found a significant relationship with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Elevated manganese and cognitive performance in school-aged children and their mothers
José A. Menezes-Filho,José A. Menezes-Filho,Cristiane de Oliveira Novaes,Josino Costa Moreira,Paula de Novaes Sarcinelli,Donna Mergler +5 more
TL;DR: Findings confirm that high MnH in children is associated with poorer cognitive performance, especially in the verbal domain, and primary caregiver's IQ is likewise associated to Mn exposure, suggesting that children's cognition may be affected directly and indirectly by Mn exposure.

Transplacental transfer of cobalt and chromium in patients with metal-on-metal hip arthroplasty: a controlled study.
TL;DR: It is shown that cobalt and chromium are able to cross the placenta in the study patients with metal-on-metal hip resurfacings and in control subjects without any metal implants, suggesting that the Placenta exerts a modulatory effect on the rate of metal ion transfer.

Manganese, monoamine metabolite levels at birth, and child psychomotor development.
TL;DR: Maternal blood Mn levels were negatively associated with foetal plasma HVA and 5-HIAA concentrations, but adjustment for monoamine levels at birth did not change the association between the Mn levels and the psychomotor scores.

Low Levels of Zinc in Hair, Anorexia, Poor Growth, and Hypogeusia in Children
TL;DR: The correlation between low levels of zinc in hair, anorexia, and low growth percentiles in these children indicates that poor appetite and growth, in addition to the hypogeusia, may have been attributable to zinc deficiency.

Reference Values for the Trace Elements Copper, Manganese, Selenium, and Zinc in the Serum / Plasma of Children, Adolescents, and Adults
TL;DR: The concentrations of copper, manganese, selenium, and zinc were determined in the serum of 137 healthy children and in the plasma of 68 blood-donors, an important pre-requisite for diagnosis and therapy of trace element deficiencies in all age groups.

Iron, zinc, copper and selenium status of breast-fed infants and infants fed trace element fortified milk-based infant formula
Bo Lönnerdal,Olle Hernell +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that 4 mg of iron/l is adequate for infants up to 6 months of age and that higher levels may have some negative effects, but the lowest levels were found in infants fed the highest concentration of iron.
