electrocardiography (ecg) may be used to recognize cardiac disorders. levels of milk production may change the serum electrolytes which its imbalance has a role in cardiac arrhythmia. fifty high yielding and fifty low yielding holstein dairy cows were used in this study. electrocardiography was recorded by base-apex lead and blood samples were collected from jugular vein for measurement of seru...

Zinc is one of the essential elements in biological system. The role of this element in many enzymes has been proved. Zinc has an antagonistic effect on the toxic elements such as cadmium, as both binds to a carrier protein called metalothionein . Zinc can be found in atmosphere of different industrial environment. Due to its importance, it's concentration in the serum of 399 Male workers of sa...

BACKGROUND Data regarding the impact of cigarette smoking on trace elements are scarce and inconsistent. In this study, we evaluated the effect of smoking on serum concentrations of trace elements among adult males with heart disease. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 100 adults hospitalized with heart disease in Bangladesh. The major variables of interest included mean serum concen...

Background and Aims: Giardia lamblia infection is a common cause of food and water-borne diarrhea in non-sanitary communities. Infections are common in children, particularly in child-care centers, backpackers, travelers, and homosexuals. Zinc is necessary for the immune system functions. Zinc deficiency is associated with acute diarrhea. Copper is essential for the production of red blood cell...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Relationship of trace elements with obesity and diabetes is complex, alterations in their metabolism can be induced by the diseases and their complications. To study the role of the trace elements in diabetes and obesity, serum trace elements levels (Cr, Se, Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn) were measured in obese women with or without diabetes as well as healthy women. Further, correl...

background: accumulation or deficiency of trace elements can occur in hemodialysis patients and it increases risk of cardiovascular or other organs disorders. special ions levels such as sodium and bicarbonate in dialysis fluid are accurately regulated but the remaining elements are not regularly measured. aluminum and lead belong to the biologic performance free heavy metals .they also has a t...

  In this study the effect of propylthiouracil-induced hypothyroidism on rat submandibular salivary gland function and the level of copper and zinc trace elements in serum and saliva were determined. Propylthiouracil (PTU) was administered to rats for 1, 2 and 3 weeks in three different groups to induce hypothyroidism. Pilocarpine was administered under anesthesia and pure samples of saliva wer...
