Zinc Toxicity in Humans
In dealing with zinc’s essentiality/toxicity (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde) duality, biological systems have developed the homeostatic ability to tightly regulate the zinc levels through a complicated framework for import and export, transport and distribution and sensing of zinc status to ensure that zinc does not participate in toxic reactions. In spite of the thousands of papers that have been pu...
متن کاملAssessing brown adipose tissue in humans
In obesity, impaired energy expenditure is associated with adaptive thermogenesis. The current standard methodology for detecting brown adipose tissue (BAT), a thermogenic tissue important in nonshivering thermogenesis, uses fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and requires cold stimulation. Knowing that BAT is highly innervated and regulated by the sympathetic nervous syst...
متن کاملAgronomic Approach of Zinc Biofortification Can Increase Zinc Bioavailability in Wheat Flour and thereby Reduce Zinc Deficiency in Humans
Zinc (Zn) deficiency is a common disorder of humans in developing countries. The effect of Zn biofortification (via application of six rates of Zn fertilizer to soil) on Zn bioavailability in wheat grain and flour and its impacts on human health was evaluated. Zn bioavailability was estimated with a trivariate model that included Zn homeostasis in the human intestine. As the rate of Zn fertiliz...
