this study was conducted to determine the spatial variability and mapping of available micronutrients iron, zinc, copper and manganese on 20,000 hectares of soils in south of tehran lands in order to identify deficiency, enough and toxicity areas. 196 surface soil samples (0-25cm) to a regular grid network of 1000×1000m were collected and extracted by dtpa and tea and concentrations of elements...

Background: In acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) the bone marrow loses its ability in the differentiation and maturation of blood cells at different stages. Zinc and copper are important co-factors for several enzymes and play an important role in maintenance of DNA integrity. Changes in serum levels of zinc and copper have been found in lymphoproliferative disorders. In the present study, the...

Concentrations of heavy metals, pH, and particle size distribution parameters were measured in Dragica stream and Djetinja River water receiving wastewaters from copper rolling mill industry, Sevojno. The concentrations of copper, zinc, lead, and mercury were determined for water samples collected in summer 2009. It was found that Copper Rolling Mill Sevojno was the significant source of water ...

Low temperature molten salts have variety of applications in organic synthesis, catalytic processing, batteries and electrode position due to their air and water stability. They have wide potential window for their applications in voltage and temperature and hence there is a possibility to deposit metals which could not be deposited from aqueous electrolytes. Our aim and scope of our research w...

Cobb 500 broilers were fed diets that were zinc deficient (35ppm), supplemented with 70ppm zinc sulfate, or 70ppm zinc sulfate + 35ppm organic zinc (MINTREXTM Zn or zincmethionine). Half the birds were given a coccidiosis vaccine (ADVENT® coccidiosis control) at day of age, and challenged with all three species on day 24. MINTREX Zn and zinc-methionine both significantly increased intestinal br...

The aims of this study were to evaluate zinc, copper, and iron concentrations in the transitory milk of Korean lactating mothers and to investigate the relationship between these concentrations and maternal diet. Human milk samples were collected between 5 and 15 days postpartum from 96 healthy, lactating mothers in postpartum care centers in Seoul, Korea. Dietary intake during lactation was de...

introduction minerals and trace elements such as zinc and copper have significant influence on development and growth of the fetus and newborn. the purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between low birth weight and maternal and neonatal zinc, copper levels. materials and methods this case – control study   was done from september 2006 to sep 2007 consisted of 65 infants with b...

This study investigated the association of copper and zinc levels in the serum or urine of patients living in northeast China, with either prediabetes or diabetes. From January 2010 to October 2011, patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D, n = 25), type 2 diabetes (T2D, n = 137), impaired fasting glucose (IFG, n = 12) or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT, n = 15), and age/gender matched controls (n = ...

To estimate the levels of serum zinc, copper and prostate specific antigen in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate carcinoma (PCa) and to correlate their levels as screening test in the diagnosis of prostate neoplasms. Serum zinc and copper were estimated in 25 patients of BPH and 18 patients with PCa over a period of one year. All patients were males and aged between 5...
