Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive, neurodegenerative disorder with motor and non-motor signs and symptoms. PD is caused by idiopathic degeneration of dopamine-producing cells in the substantia nigra, located in the midbrain. Recently, Trace elements have been recognized to play an important role in the development of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The aim of this review ...

A heavy media column is used for the separation of the mineral fractions of a sample. Thus the directly weighed per cent of the mineral composition of the rock or ore sample is accomplished. ttre teihnique may be applied to the concentration of a particular species, e,ren i.r trace amounts, for further mineralogical studies or for practical commercial metallurgical mineral beneficiation purposes'

Trace minerals such as zinc, copper, and manganese are essential cofactors for hundreds of cellular enzymes and transcription factors in all animal species, and thus participate in a wide variety of biochemical processes. Immune development and response, tissue and bone development and integrity, protection against oxidative stress, and cellular growth and division are just a few examples. Defi...

more than 30 mineral elements have been found with different key functions in helping plants and animals to survive and live healthy. as a direct result, they have always attracted the attention of scientists. the quest is to find some efficient analytical and quantitative procedures in this study to determine some mineral and trace elements of iranian crocus sativus l. corms. several studies h...

This study evaluated potential effects of organic trace mineral supplementation on reproductive measures in lactating dairy cows. Cows were blocked by breed and randomly assigned at dry-off to receive inorganic trace mineral supplementation (control; n = 32) or to have a portion of supplemental inorganic Zn, Cu, Mn, and Co replaced with an equivalent amount of the organic forms of these mineral...

Introduction: A quantitative description of crystal-liquid trace element partitioning is critical to understanding the igneous differentiation history of the terrestrial planets. Anorthitic plagioclase is the type mineral of terrestrial planet crusts, and for the Moon, specifically, quantitative understanding of trace element partitioning in anorthite is key to testing models of the lunar magma...
