Nutritional composition, Taxonomical and phytoremediation status of Duckweed (Wolffia): Review

Body composition and morphological assessment of nutritional status in adults: a review of anthropometric variables.

Evaluation of body composition is an important part of assessing nutritional status and provides prognostically useful data and an opportunity to monitor the effects of nutrition-related disease progression and nutritional intervention. The aim of this narrative review is to critically evaluate body composition methodology in adults, focusing on anthropometric variables. The variables considere...

Cadmium accumulation in the rootless macrophyte Wolffia globosa and its potential for phytoremediation.

Cadmium (Cd) pollution around the world is a serious issue demanding acceptable solutions, one of which is phytoremediation that is both cost-effective and eco-friendly. Removal of Cd from contaminated water using plants with high growth rates and sufficient Cd accumulation abilities could be an appropriate choice. Here, we investigated a potential Cd accumulator, Wolffia, a rootless duckweed w...

Nutritional Status and Body Composition in Korean Myopathy Patients.

In myopathy patients, fat mass increases as the disease progresses, while lean body mass decreases. The present study aimed to investigate the overall nutritional status of Korean myopathy patients through surveys of diet and dietary habits, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and biochemistry tests, as well as the examination of related factors, for the purpose of using such findings as a ...

Potential of Duckweed (Lemna minor) for Removal of Lead from Wastewater by Phytoremediation

This investigation was undertaken to study Pb uptake by small free floating aquatic plant Lemna minor from wastewater polluted by contaminated with heavy metals. Metal accumulation process was affected by various parameters such as different pH, temperature and concentration of Pb solution. Total chlorophyll contents in Lemna minor was adversely affected from increased with increasing Pb concen...
