Hair zinc and copper: Relationship to hair type and serum concentrations in children and adolescents
The zinc and copper serum and hair concentrations of 691 3-18-y-old girls and boys previously determined as a part of the
Multicentre Study of Atherosclerosis Precursors in Finnish Children and Adolescents were further analyzed in order to find
a possible association between these two zinc and copper indices. The influence of hair color and the diameter of individual
hair strands on hair concentrations were studied by the analysis of covariance. Hair color and serum zinc concentrations were
found to be associated with hair zinc concentrations in boys. Such an association was not found for zinc and copper concentrations
in girls. Hair vs serum concentrations in different age and hair color groups did not show however, a significant relationship
either in copper or in zinc concentrations. The subjects with very low or high serum zinc or copper concentrations did not
usually have extreme hair concentrations and vice versa. However, there were some subjects with low or high serum concentrations
associated with low or high hair concentrations. 相似文献

Experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that intracellular concentrations of guanosine triphosphate (GTP) regulate the activity and hormonal sensitivity of adenylate cyclase in intact cells. By appropriate treatments, the GTP concentrations of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells could be varied between 28% and 680% of control values. Cyclic AMP concentrations were measured before and after addition of epinephrine in cells containing this range of GTP concentratins. Basal cyclic AMP concentrations were unaffected by changes in GTP concentrations. In cells containing lowered concentrations of GTP, the cyclic AMP concentration following addition of epinephrine was half that in control cells. Elevation of GTP concentrations above normal and had no effect on cyclic AMP concentrations following epinephrine treatment. 相似文献

The purpose of this paper is to develop a database of fish tissue and sediment concentrations of selected chemicals in the southern Lake Erie drainage basin, to compare contaminant concentrations in fish tissue and sediment collected from the Grand River, Ohio, in the vicinity of a former soda ash and chromate plant with that for other waterbodies in the drainage basin, and to evaluate the potential human health risks posed by these chemicals, with special focus on chromium. The results of this study indicate that chemical concentrations in fish tissue and sediment from the Grand River are generally lower than that of other waterbodies in the southern Lake Erie drainage basin. Although arsenic and beryllium concentrations in Grand River sediment are above their respective human health-based concentrations, these concentrations are comparable with local and regional background and are not expected to pose a significant incremental risk to human health. In addition, sediment concentrations do not exceed ecological screening criteria. Although PCB and several pesticides were found to have concentrations in fish tissue from the Grand River in excess of human health based concentrations, these concentrations are among the lowest found in waterbodies in the southern Lake Erie drainage basin. 相似文献

A well-defined relationship has to exist between substance concentrations in blood and in breath if blood-borne volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are to be used as breath markers of disease or health. In this study, the impact of inspired substances on this relationship was investigated systematically. VOCs were determined in inspired and expired air and in arterial and mixed venous blood of 46 mechanically ventilated patients by means of SPME, GC/MS. Mean inspired concentrations were 25% of expired concentrations for pentane, 7.5% for acetone, 0.7% for isoprene and 0.4% for isoflurane. Only if inspired concentrations were <5% did substance disappearance rates from blood and exhalation rates correlate well. Exhaled substance concentrations depended on venous and inspired concentrations. Patients with sepsis had higher n-pentane and lower acetone concentrations in mixed venous blood than patients without sepsis (2.27 (0.37-8.70) versus 0.65 (0.33-1.48) nmol L-1 and 69 (22-99) versus 18 (6.7-56) micromol L-1). n-Pentane and acetone concentrations in breath showed no differences between the patient groups, regardless whether or not expired concentrations were corrected for inspired concentrations. In mechanically ventilated patients, concentration profiles of volatile substances in breath may considerably deviate from profiles in blood depending on the relative amount of inspired concentrations. A simple correction for inspired substance concentrations was not possible. Hence, substances having inspired concentrations>5% of expired concentrations should not be used as breath markers in these patients without knowledge of concentrations in blood and breath. 相似文献

The concentrations of intracellular solutes in Listeria monocytogenes were examined in cells grown at various concentrations of NaCl. At 5% NaCl, cells contained elevated concentrations of potassium and glycine betaine compared with concentrations in cells grown without NaCl. At 7.5% NaCl, cells contained increased concentrations of K+, glycine betaine, glycine, alanine, and proline. Only glycine betaine, choline, or glycine promoted growth on a solidified defined medium containing 4% NaCl; there was no growth at higher concentrations of NaCl in the defined medium. 相似文献

Peripheral plasma concentrations of oxytocin, 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandin F2α(PGFM), progesterone and LH were determined at 3 hourly intervals during the oesterous cycle (n = 3) and in early pregnancy (n = 4) in sheep. The progesterone and LH concentrations showed that the cycling ewes were samples during the periods of luteal regression (decreasing progesterone concentrations), the preovulatory gonadotrophin surge and the beginning of the next luteal phase (increasing progesterone concentrations). The pregnant ewes had basal LH concentrations and luteal phase concentrations of progesterone (>lng/ml afte day 5 following mating) throughout the whole of the sampling period. Oxytocin concentrations in the non-pregnant ewes decreased around the time of luteal regression to reach low concentrations (mean concentrations of approximately 18pg/ml) during the preovulatory period and then increased after the preovulatory surge. PGFM concentrations exhibited a pulsatile pattern with increasing concentrations as progesterone levels fell. In the pregnant ewes oxytocin concentrations gradually fell until approximately 16 days post-mating (approximately 7–8pg/ml). The magnitude of the pulses in PGFM concentrations were also lower than in the cycling ewes. These results demonstrate that the increased concentrations of PGFM which are found during the period of luteal regression are not caused by increased peripheral concentrations of oxytocin. 相似文献

Serum FSH concentrations were measured in fetal and prepubertal pigs between 40 days postcoitum and 25 weeks after birth. In addition, serum FSH was estimated in prepubertal, unilaterally cryptorchid, freemartin and castrated pigs. The average serum FSH concentrations in male and female fetuses was low (less than 2 ng/ml) until 80 days p.c. During the remaining fetal period, concentrations in females were elevated (7.9 +/- 0.4 ng/ml) and remained fairly constant after birth (16.3 +/- 0.8 ng/ml). In the male, serum FSH concentrations gradually rose to 22.5 +/- 5.5 ng/ml during the first 3 weeks after birth and declined thereafter. The changes in FSH concentrations in male pigs are reflected in gonadal-development. In contrast, in fetal and prepubertal females, ovarian development seems not to be influenced by changes in serum FSH concentrations. Unilateral cryptorchidism did not affect serum FSH concentrations. After castration, however, concentrations rose significantly. In freemartin pigs concentrations were similar to those in female pigs. 相似文献

Total and free serum concentrations of thyroxine and triiodothyronine were measured in 122 subjects with hypothyroidism who were clinically well while receiving conventional replacement treatment with thyroxine. In a third of patients concentrations of total and free thyroxine were raised, often considerably; nevertheless concentrations of total and free triiodothyronine were usually normal. Though significant correlations were obtained between total triiodothyronine concentrations and total thyroxine concentrations (p less than 0.001) and between the triiodothyronine concentrations and free thyroxine concentrations (p less than 0.001) the slope of the line of the regression equation describing these correlations was small, hence large increases in both total and free thyroxine concentrations were accompanied by only modest increases in total and free triiodothyronine concentrations. The presence of total or free thyroxine concentrations above normal in patients taking thyroxine therefore are not necessarily of clinical consequence. In the assessment of adequacy of replacement treatment with thyroxine the most logical combination of in vitro thyroid function test results may be a normal thyrotrophin concentration and normal free triiodothyronine concentration. 相似文献

The seasonal changes in concentrations of calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, manganese and sodium in above- and below-ground parts of eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) were studied at three locations in the Limfjord, Denmark.The concentrations of calcium, iron and manganese in eelgrass differed significantly at the three stations. Above-ground parts of eelgrass contained significantly higher concentrations of potassium and manganese than below-ground parts, whereas the concentrations of iron and sodium were highest in the below-ground parts. Calcium and mangnesium concentrations in the two fractions were not significantly different.Significant seasonal variations were observed in the concentrations of calcium, potassium, manganese and sodium in above-ground parts of eelgrass and in the concentrations of iron, magnesium and sodium in below-ground parts. Iron, potassium, manganese and, to an extent, sodium showed a similar seasonal pattern with maximum concentrations in the summer and minimum concentrations in the spring or fall, whereas calcium concentrations in the above-ground parts showed the opposite pattern.The observed seasonal variation patterns are discussed in relation to the respective metals and changes in environmental factors. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the extent to which inflammation is linked with plasma endothelial lipase (EL) concentrations among healthy sedentary men. Plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations were measured with a highly sensitive commercial immunoassay, plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentrations were measured using a commercial ELISA, and plasma secretory phospholipase A(2) type IIA (sPLA(2)-IIA) concentrations were measured using a commercial assay in a sample of 74 moderately obese men (mean body mass index, 29.8 +/- 5.2 kg/m(2)). Plasma EL concentrations were positively correlated with various indices of obesity, fasting plasma insulin, and plasma CRP, IL-6, and sPLA(2)-IIA concentrations. Multiple regression analyses revealed that plasma CRP concentrations explained 14.5% (P = 0.0008) of the variance in EL concentrations. When entered into the model, LPL activity accounted for 16.1% (P < 0.0001) and plasma CRP concentrations accounted for 20.9% (P < 0.0001) of the variance in EL concentrations. The combined impact of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and of an inflammation score on EL concentrations was investigated. Among subjects with high or low VAT, those having a high inflammation score based on plasma CRP, IL-6, and sPLA(2)-IIA concentrations had increased plasma EL concentrations (P = 0.0005). In conclusion, our data reveal a strong association between proinflammatory cytokines and plasma EL concentrations among healthy people with low or high VAT levels. 相似文献

Concentrations of manganese were determined in the liver, kidney, muscle and bone of white suckers (Catostomus commersoni) from five acid (pH < 5.8), and two circumneutral lakes in south-central Ontario. Manganese tissue concentrations were greater in fish captured from the most acidified lakes with the greatest concentrations of dissolved manganese. These fish had increased concentrations of manganese in the liver, as indicated by a comparison of liver:kidney manganese concentration ratios among the seven fish populations. Tissue concentrations of manganese from all populations either were negatively correlated (P < 0.05) or remained constant with fish size indicating homeostatic regulation of this metal. Manganese concentrations of the benthic fauna were positively correlated to sediment concentrations (R=0.30). Lake sediment manganese concentrations were significantly correlated to maximum lake depth (R=0.80, P < 0.03), with the concentrations in the top 0–1 cm dependent on the redox conditions in the seven lakes. Based on the seven lakes studied, manganese concentrations in the benthic-feeding white sucker correlated better with dissolved manganese, than with either the concentrations in food or surficial sediments. 相似文献

The concentrations of calcium, magnesium and inorganic phosphorus were higher in foetal arterial plasma than in maternal jugular plasma in sheep examined between 90 and 145 days of gestation. During the same period the calcium and magnesium concentrations of foetal urine were usually less than amniotic fluid values which in turn were less than maternal plasma concentrations. In allantoic fluid, calcium concentrations were usually less and magnesium concentrations greater than maternal and foetal plasma values. A 2-5 fold increase in the calcium concentrations of allantoic fluid after superfical uterine surgery and in amniotic fluid from a group of foetuses that were exposed during operation, were considered to be artefacts of technique. Inorganic phosphorus concentrations in foetal urine, amniotic fluid and allantoic fluid were variable. 相似文献

To determine the effects of nutrients on growth and toxin production of Nodularia strain GR8b, several nutrient concentrations were tested in batch and chemostat cultures. In batch cultures, phosphate (55-5,500 mg L-1) and nitrate (100-30,000 mg L-1) concentrations were applied, whereas in chemostat cultures, phosphate concentrations (5-315 mg L-1) were tested. Intra- and extracellular toxin concentrations, together with biomass parameters, were measured. In the batch cultures with low phosphate concentrations, chlorophyll a and protein contents were reduced, but dry weights and cell numbers were not significantly affected. The highest nitrate concentrations resulted in reduced dry weight concentrations. Nodularin concentration per dry weight, nodularin to protein ratio, and dissolved nodularin were highest at the end of the experiment, but were not influenced by the nutrient concentrations. Nodularin concentration per cell was also rather constant under the varying nutrient concentrations. In the chemostat cultures, the biomass increased with high phosphate concentrations. However, the phosphate concentrations did not have statistically significant effects on nodularin production rates. 相似文献

In wild birds, the proximate and ultimate factors that affect circulating carotenoid concentrations remain poorly understood. We studied variation in plasma carotenoid concentrations across several scales: annual, seasonal, pair, territory and individual, and evaluated whether plasma carotenoid concentrations explained reproductive outcome of wild American kestrels (Falco sparverius). We sampled plasma carotenoid concentrations of 99 female and 80 male incubating kestrels from April to June in 2008 to 2012. Plasma carotenoid concentrations were explained by an interaction between year and sex, date, and random effects for pair and individual identity. In general, plasma carotenoid concentrations of males were significantly higher than females, but this depended on year. Within a breeding season, earlier nesting kestrels had higher carotenoid concentrations than later nesting kestrels, a pattern that is coincident with seasonal trends in local fitness. Pair and individual identity explained variation in carotenoid concentrations suggesting that carotenoid concentrations of mated birds were correlated, and some individuals consistently maintained higher carotenoid levels than others. Male carotenoid concentrations were positively associated with number of young fledged per pair. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that higher quality individuals have higher carotenoid levels compared to lower quality individuals, despite annual variations in carotenoid availability. 相似文献

Plasma testosterone concentrations were low through the spring and early summer, concentrations began rising in late July and reached maximum levels by ovulation in September. Plasma concentrations of 11-ketotestosterone were low throughout sexual maturation until ovulation when a significant increase occurred. Plasma androstendione and 17β-estradiol concentrations were high throughout sexual maturation, and decreased significantly at ovulation. Plasma 17α,20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one concentrations were low throughout maturation, and increased significantly at ovulation. Plasma gonadotropin I concentrations paralleled those of estradiol and exceeded gonadotropin II levels prior to ovulation. Plasma concentrations of gonadotropin II were low throughout the spring and summer, increasing dramatically at ovulation. 相似文献

Interrelationships among peripheral blood concentrations of corticosteroids (CS), luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone (T) were evaluated over a 24-hr period in four Angus bulls (18 months of age and 450 kg in body weight). Concentrations of LH and T were determined by radioimmunoassay and concentrations of CS by competitive protein binding assay of blood samples collected via jugular cannula at hourly intervals for 24 consecutive hr. A positive temporal relationship was observed between LH and T as significant positive correlations were obtained between concentrations of LH at one hour and concentrations of T at the subsequent hour in 3 of 4 bulls. Although LH peaks preceded T peaks by 1 hr, variation in this temporal relationship was observed as LH peaks occurred which were not accompanied by T peaks in some bulls. LH peaks were usually preceded by basal or declining concentrations of CS and prolonged elevations in concentrations of CS were often coincident with basal concentrations of LH and T. Negative correlations were obtained between concentrations of CS at one hour and concentrations of LH and T at the subsequent hour. These data describe the positive regulatory role of LH in testicular T production in the bull and suggest that alterations in endogenous concentrations of CS may influence peripheral concentrations of LH and T in the bull. 相似文献
