wound healing in the skin depends upon the availability of appropriate trace metals as enzyme cofactors and structural components in tissue repair. the present study is a part of a series of experimental investigations to examine the influence of bentonite on skin wound healing. surgically induced skin wounds in 48 young adult male rats were exposed topically to bentonite (12 round wound and 12...

this study assesses the effect of major trace metals levels in wastewater discharges and sedimentfrom twenty four permanent and five semi-permanent wastewater drain outlets into the kuwait coast. theeffect of trace metals levels released from untreated wastewater discharges to euchelus asper, gastropod was also determined. results showed high trace metal levels in e. asper tissues, followed by ...

hemodialysis is being implicated in the development of metabolic disturbances, as complications have been observed and the role of trace metals in their development has been questioned. in 78 renal failure patients who underwent hemodialysis, serum levels of zinc and copper were determined before and after first hemodialysis. acute and chronic renal failure patients were found to have lower ser...

An abundance of trace metals in the environment is a characteristic property of only a few terrestrial ecosystems. Serpentinite contains high concentrations of trace metals especially Ni and Cr that are released by weathering. Other natural sources of trace metals are volcanic eruptions and the deposition of marine aerosols. In the soil some trace metals are strongly adsorbed to the mineral mat...

background & aims of the study: vegetables and cereals are considered vital for properly-balanced diet given that they deliver vitamins, minerals, nutritional fiber, and phytochemicals. this study aimed to assess the concentration of as, cu, cd, pb, cr and hg in common vegetables and cereals in urban open markets in varanasi district, india materials & methods: total 260 edible portions of vege...
