Trace element and nutrient accumulation in sunflower plants two years after the Aznalcóllar mine spill.
The failure of a tailing pond dam at the Aznalcóllar pyrite mine (SW Spain) in April 1998 released a toxic spill affecting approximately 4300 ha along the Agrio and Guadiamar valleys. Two years later, we have studied yield and concentration of mineral nutrients and trace elements in sunflower plants grown in the spill-affected soil, and in an adjacent unaffected soil as comparison. The study ha...
متن کاملtrace element concentration in soils and plants in the vicinity of miduk copper mine
introduction high concentrations of metals are usually encountered in surface soil and vegetation in areas affected by mining activity (liu et al., 2006). different distribution of elements in chemical fractions result in different bioavailability; therefore knowledge of the total content of an element in soil is not a sufficient criterion to estimate the environmental implications of trace met...
متن کاملBiodiversity of Mineral Nutrient and Trace Element Accumulation in Arabidopsis thaliana
In order to grow on soils that vary widely in chemical composition, plants have evolved mechanisms for regulating the elemental composition of their tissues to balance the mineral nutrient and trace element bioavailability in the soil with the requirements of the plant for growth and development. The biodiversity that exists within a species can be utilized to investigate how regulatory mechani...

clearance of soluble Ab. Mutations in the apoE gene are the most common genetic defect associated with sporadic Alzheimer’s, thus activation of the gene is considered to be a promising approach. Landreth and colleagues found that oral administration of bexarotene resulted in improved clearance of soluble Ab within a few hours, due to enhanced apoE activity. They also found that the area affecte...
متن کاملComplications and nutrient deficiencies two years after sleeve gastrectomy
BACKGROUND The aim of this systematic study was to investigate patient outcomes and nutritional deficiencies following sleeve gastrectomy (SG) during a median follow-up of two years. METHODS Over a period of 56 months, all consecutive patients who underwent SG were documented in this prospective, single-center, observational study. The study endpoints included complication rates, nutritional ...
