INTRODUCTION Bariatric surgery leads to a significant body weigh reduction although it is associated to a higher risk of presenting some nutritional deficiencies. A common complication, little studied and mainly related to zinc deficiency is alopecia. OBJECTIVES To compare the nutritional status of zinc, iron, copper, selenium and protein-visceral in women with different degrees of hair loss ...

Zinc deficiency is a global nutritional disorder affecting majority of healthy people rather than those suffering from chronic diseases, affects about one third of people around the world and thereby causing clinical manifestations. This work represents new modality to increase the intestinal absorptivity and bioavailability of zinc from the diet by replacing traditional bulk form by zinc nanop...

In order to compare the effects of different spraying of nano zinc oxide and zinc oxide, the arable irrigated wheat was conducted in two separate trials in 2011-2014 lands of Abadeh city.Experiments were conducted in a randomized complete block design, with five treatments and five replications.In the first experiment, treatments included the application of nano zinc oxide to five levels ( 0 , ...

Authors overlook the recent findings in the field of the complex interrelationship among nutrition, immune status and parasitic infestation. After summarizing the general characteristics of the active immune system, they describe the first period of the systemic immune response, the acute phase reaction. The cause of drastical decrease in serum zinc concentration is redistribution into the live...

The present study aims at evaluating the role of evoked potentials (ABR, VEP, P300, motor threshold), and EEG in understanding the pathogenesis of migraine and to detect if there is a functional abnormalities in cortical electrical activity. The study was carried out on 50 patients (30 females and 20 males) and 25 age and sex matched normal controls. The clinical classification of migraine stud...

The basic aim of this research work is to present the synthesis of ZnSe thin film, by varying doping concentration of selenium oxide on ITO plate using a relatively simple and low cost traditional electrodeposistion technique. The physical properties obtained are similar to that reported earlier. The compatibility of the room temperature ZnSe thin films for structural, optical properties are in...

The impacts of zinc oxide nanoparticles on embryonic development following oocyte stage exposure are unknown and the underlying mechanisms are sparsely understood. In the current investigation, intact nanoparticles were detected in ovarian tissue in vivo and cultured cells in vitro under zinc oxide nanoparticles treatment. Zinc oxide nanoparticles exposure during the oocyte stage inhibited embr...

In this paper, synthesis of the flower-like zinc oxide was performed using microwave assisted dicationic ionic liquid [mmp(im)2 ]Br2 . The polycrystalline flower-like zinc oxide nanostructure was obtained when a suitable mole ratio (ionic liquid /zinc acetate) and short duration microwave was used. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and photoluminescence (PL) spectra w...

Zinc oxide nanowire photoanodes are chemically stabilized by conformal growth of an ultrathin shell of titania through atomic layer deposition, permitting their stable operation for water splitting in a strongly alkaline solution. Because of the passivation of zinc oxide surface charge traps by titania coating, core/shell nanowire arrays supply a photocurrent density of 0.5 mA/cm under simulate...
