The effects of age and sex on seven elements of Sprague-Dawley rat organs

This study reports age-related changes in 7 element (iron, copper, zinc, manganese, mercury, cadmium and lead) concentrations in the liver, kidney and brain of male and female Sprague-Dawley rats from 1 to 364 days of age. Atomic absorption spectrometry was used for the measurements. Copper, mercury and cadmium in the male and female kidneys increased from weaning until 127 days of age, as did iron concentrations in the female liver and kidney. After 127 days, especially, the copper concentration in the female kidney and cadmium concentration in the male and female kidney increased further. Consistent and statistically significant (P less than 0.05) sex differences in element concentrations were found for three elements (iron, copper and zinc). Except for the zinc concentration in the liver from 50 to 72 days, iron (in liver and kidney), zinc (in kidney) and copper (in liver, kidney and brain) concentrations in female rats during the adult stage, were all higher than those of male rats. Isolated differences for other elements (manganese, mercury and cadmium) were also found. The data will be helpful when setting up long-term animal investigations of the biological effect of elements.     

Variability of selected trace elements of different meat cuts determined by ICP-MS and DRC-ICPMS

The aim of this study was to determine the levels of cadmium, lead, iron, zinc, selenium, manganese, copper and molybdenum in different cuts of beef, pork, lamb, chicken and foal collected from supermarkets and butcheries in Switzerland. The concentrations of manganese, copper, molybdenum, zinc, iron, selenium, cadmium and lead were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) after microwave digestion. Mean values and their respective coefficients of variation were calculated from the measured concentrations. The concentrations found for cadmium and lead ranged from 0.6 to 3.9 μg/100 g and 1.0 to 2.1 μg/100 g, respectively. Concentrations ranged between 0.5 and 3.3 mg/100 g for iron, 0.7 and 5.1 mg/100 g for zinc, 9 and 44 μg/100 g for selenium, 3.1 and 16.7 μg/100 g for manganese, 0.3 and 132 μg/100 g for copper and 0.9 and 3.2 μg/100 g for molybdenum. Differences found for the concentrations in meat from different species as well as between the individual meat cuts were notable for iron, zinc, selenium and copper. Manganese concentrations were found to vary unsystematically within muscles and species. Molybdenum concentrations were higher in chicken meat in comparison with the mammalian meats. The highest coefficients of variation were found for manganese (13% to 142%) and copper (13% to 224%), while the lowest was found for zinc (4% to 45%). In conclusion, in order to provide an accurate overview and to be able to calculate reliable dietary intakes, it is important to include the variability in food composition data.     

Heavy Metals in the Tissues of Commercially Important Fish of Amurskii Bay,Sea of Japan

The concentrations of iron, copper, zinc, manganese, cadmium, and mercury in tissues and organs of Pacific herring, Far Eastern navaga, and spotted flounder from Amurskii Bay, Sea of Japan, were determined using an atom-absorption method. The distribution of these elements has been studied in organisms of the fish. The greatest concentration of iron, copper, cadmium, and mercury is found in the liver of the fish, manganese is mostly accumulated in the bone tissue, and zinc is found in the skin. Some specific features of metal accumulation in the fish of Amurskii Bay have been revealed. For example, the concentration of iron in the liver of herring and flounder significantly increased the mean concentration known from other areas. A sanitary–hygienic evaluation is provided for the recent levels of metal concentrations in these three species of commercially important fish.     

Effect of dietary iron deficiency on mineral levels in tissues of rats

To clarify the influence of iron deficiency on mineral status, the following two synthetic diets were fed to male Wistar rats: a control diet containing 128 micrograms iron/g, and an iron-deficient diet containing 5.9 micrograms iron/g. The rats fed the iron-deficient diet showed pale red conjunctiva and less reactiveness than the rats fed the control diet. The hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit of the rats fed the iron-deficient diet were markedly less than the rats fed the control diet. The changes of mineral concentrations observed in tissues of the rats fed the iron-deficient diet, as compared with the rats fed the control diet, are summarized as follows: . Iron concentrations in blood, brain, lung, heart, liver, spleen, kidney, testis, femoral muscle, and tibia decreased; . Calcium concentrations in blood and liver increased; calcium concentration in lung decreased; . Magnesium concentration in blood increased; . Copper concentrations in blood, liver, spleen and tibia increased; copper concentration in femoral muscle decreased; . Zinc concentration in blood decreased; . Manganese concentrations in brain, heart, kidney, testis, femoral muscle and tibia increased. These results suggest that iron deficiency affects mineral status (iron, calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc, and manganese) in rats.     

Effect of age and dietary protein level on tissue mineral levels in female rats

Mineral (phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, and manganese) concentrations were measured in plasma, and several tissues from female Wistar rats (young: 3-wk-old; mature: 6-mo-old) were fed on a dietary regimen designed to study the combined or singular effects of age and dietary protein on mineral status. Three diets, respectively, contained 5, 15, and 20% of bovine milk casein. Nephrocalcinosis chemically diagnosed by increased calcium and phosphorus in kidney was prevented in rats fed a 5% protein diet. Renal calcium and phosphorus were more accumulated in young rats than mature rats. A 5% protein diet decreased hemoglobin and blood iron. The hepatic and splenic iron was increased by a 5% protein diet in mature rats but was not altered in young rats. Mature rats had higher iron in brain, lung, heart, liver, spleen, kidney, muscle, and tibia than young rats. A 5% protein diet decreased zinc in plasma and liver. Zinc in tibia was increased with dietary protein level in young rats but was not changed in mature rats. A 5% protein diet decreased copper concentration in plasma of young rats but not in mature rats. Mature rats had higher copper in plasma, blood, brain, lung, heart, liver, spleen, and kidney than young rats. With age, manganese concentration was increased in brain but decreased in lung, heart, liver, kidney, and muscle. These results suggest that the response to dietary protein regarding mineral status varies with age.     

Uptake of six heavy metals by oat as influenced by soil type and additions of cadmium,lead, zinc and copper

Summary The influence of heavy metal additions on availability and uptake of cadmium, lead, zinc, copper, manganese and iron by oat was studied. The experiments were carried out as pot experiments using sandy loam, sandy soil and organic soil. Selective extractants were used to remove metals held in different soil fractions.Lead and copper were preferently bound by organics and oxides, zinc by oxides and inorganics, and cadmium by inorganics and organics.Addition of cadmium to the soils resulted in higher cadmium concentrations in all plant parts but lower concentrations of lead, zinc, copper, manganese and iron, and the accumulation indexes of these metals were also lower when cadmium was added to the soil.Addition of cadmium plus lead, zinc and copper resulted in higher cadmium concentrations in leaves and straw of plants grown in sandy loam and sandy soil, but lower concentrations when plants were grown in organic soil as compared with the results when cadmium was added separately. The transfer of cadmium, lead, zinc and copper from soil to plant was greatest from sandy soil, and zinc and cadmium were more mobile in the plant than were lead and copper.Cadmium concentrations in leaves correlated significantly with CaCl₂ and CH₃COOH extractions in sandy loam and sandy soil and with CH₃COOH extractions in organic soil.Generally, the total metal uptake was lowest from organic soil.     

Copper, zinc, iron, and manganese accumulation in cattle from Asturias (northern Spain)

Monitoring levels of mineral concentrations in animal tissues is important for assessing the effect of contamination on animal health and safety of animal origin products in human nutrition. This study evaluated the levels of certain trace elements (copper, zinc, iron, and manganese) in cattle from an industrial and mining region in the north of Spain (Asturias). Samples of 312 animals aged 9–12 mo were collected from the whole region and analyzed after acid digestion using atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS). The geometric mean concentrations obtained per wet weight for the liver, kidney, muscle, and blood were 34.3 mg/kg, 4.04 mg/kg, 1.65 mg/kg, and 0.651 mg/L for copper, respectively, and 38.5 mg/kg, 23.0 mg/kg, 47.0 mg/kg, and 2.44 mg/L for zinc, respectively. For iron, blood was not analyzed and results were 96.2 mg/kg, 105 mg/kg, and 56.0 mg/kg for the liver, kidney and muscle, respectively. For manganese, only the liver and kidney were analyzed, and the results were 3.11 mg/kg and 1.19 mg/kg, respectively. There was no evidence of an accumulation of toxic levels of trace metals in Asturian cattle. Females accumulated more iron in the liver (p<0.001, F _1,310=18.4) and the kidney (p<0.001, F _1,310=13.5) and more manganese in the liver (p<0.01, F _1,310=9.55) than males.     

Altered transition metal homeostasis in mice following manganese injections for manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging

In manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MEMRI), the paramagnetic divalent ion of manganese (Mn²⁺) is injected into animals to generate tissue contrast, typically at much higher exposures than have been previously used in studies of Mn toxicity. Here we investigate the effect of these injections on the homeostasis of the transition metals iron and copper in mice to see if there are disruptions which should be considered in MEMRI studies. Manganese shares transport proteins with other transition metals including iron and copper, so it is possible that changes in manganese levels in tissue following injections of the metal may affect other metal levels too. This in turn may affect MRI contrast or the investigation of disease processes in the animal models being imaged. In this study, we measured manganese, iron, and copper concentrations in the blood, kidney, liver and in brain regions in mice treated with four injections of 30 mg/kg MnCl₂ 4H₂O (dry chemical weight/body weight)—a common dose used in MEMRI. In addition to the expected increases in manganese in tissues, we noted a statistically significant reduction in copper in the kidney and liver. Also, we noted a statistically significant decrease in concentration of iron in the thalamus of the brain. These findings suggest that the high doses of manganese injected in MEMRI studies can disrupt the homeostasis of other transition metals in mice.     

Trace element budget in an African savannah ecosystem

The concentration of selected trace elements (Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Se, and Zn) were analysed in soils, grass, bush, and tree samples from the Mole National Park, Ghana. The distribution of the essential nutrients: cobalt, copper, manganese, and selenium is controlled by bedrock geology, whereas iron, molybdenum, and zinc distribution is controlled by soil and hydrological processes. In the soils, iron, manganese, and cobalt are largely fixed in the mineral fraction while most of the copper, molybdenum, and selenium in the soils can be extracted by disodium ethylenediaminetetracetate. Copper, cobalt, and manganese appear to be preferentially concentrated in grass species while molybdenum and selenium are concentrated in browse plants. Variations in uptake exist between wet and dry seasons with all trace elements studied, except iron and manganese, showing a marked increased availability in the wet season and increased concentration in the residual fraction of the mineral and organic soils in the dry season. In the dry season the plant concentration of molybdenum and selenium decreased while copper and zine showed increased concentrations and this may be related to a lower pH of the groundwaters at this time. A budget of metal input and output in the ecosystem at Mole has been computed. From this potential dietary deficiencies in cobalt can be observed, however for other metals soil and plant concentrations are sufficient to prevent straightforward deficiencies while the concentrations of molybdenum and selenium are sufficiently low to be considered safe.     

两种荒漠生境条件下泡泡刺水分来源及其对降水的响应

泡泡刺通常以灌丛沙堆的形式存在,具有很强的生态适应性,在防风固沙、抗旱耐盐等方面具有独特的功能,但是水分条件仍然是限制其生存和发展的关键因素.为了明确泡泡刺在不同荒漠生境条件下的水分利用策略,研究了河西走廊临泽绿洲边缘沙质和砾质生境下泡泡刺的水分来源季节动态特征以及对不同降雨事件的响应程度.测定了两种生境下泡泡刺茎水和不同水源(降水、土壤水和地下水)的氧稳定同位素(δ¹⁸O)值,结合IsoSource模型计算了不同水源对泡泡刺水分来源的贡献比例.结果表明:两种生境下泡泡刺茎水δ¹⁸O值及其水分来源都存在显著的季节变化特征,沙质生境下泡泡刺在降水较少的春季和秋季主要利用地下水,其贡献率可达50%以上;而砾质生境下的泡泡刺无法利用深达11.5 m地下水,其水分来源受降水控制,具有较大的季节变异性.两种生境下的泡泡刺对降水响应显著,但是降水过后,随着土壤含水量的快速减小,沙质生境下的泡泡刺转而以丰富的地下水为主要水分来源,而砾质生境下的泡泡刺只能利用降水入渗至较深层土壤的较少水分.因此,两种生境下泡泡刺不同的水分利用策略是导致其生长特征差异的主要原因,同时也表明泡泡刺具有较强的自我调节和适应能力.
