Spatial distribution of manganese concentration and load in street dust in Mexico City

Salud pública Méx; 62 (2), 2020
Abstract: Objective: To obtain a first indication of the distribution and extent of manganese (Mn) contamination in Mexico City. Mn concentration and load in street dust were analyzed in order to reveal the most contaminated areas. Materials and methods: 482 samples of street dust were analyzed through...

Evaluation of Chromium and Manganese levels in sports supplements using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry

Rev. Nutr. (Online); 33 (), 2020
ABSTRACT Objective In this paper, we studied three different types of ordinary sports supplements containing whey protein: whey protein-based ones, hypercaloric ones, and protein bars. Methods A sample preparation procedure was studied employing microwave-assisted wet digestion in order to determine th...

O perfil metabolômico de aminoácidos como biomarcador de consumo alimentar, estado nutricional e alterações metabólicas

Introdução - A metabolômica permite determinar padrões de variação dos metabólitos entre indivíduos doentes e não doentes, com ou sem ingestão de um determinado alimento ou dieta. Compreender a relação entre metabólitos e doenças metabólicas pode ajudar a combater obesidade e doenças crô...

Nutrition facts and limits for micronutrients in tree species used in urban forestry

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (3), 2017
ABSTRACT There is a huge lack of researches that evaluate the nutritional limits in tree species used in urban forestry, especially in terms of micronutrients. This study aimed to establish limits and range of micronutrients levels for the proper development of tree species utilized in urban forestry. Th...

Effects of manganese on fat snook Centropomus parallelus (Carangaria: Centropomidae) exposed to different temperatures

Neotrop. ichthyol; 15 (4), 2017
This study evaluates the effects of exposure to manganese (Mn2+) for 96 hours at two different temperatures (24 and 27°C) on juveniles of Centropomus parallelus through the activities of glutathione S-transferase (GST) and catalase (CAT), micronuclei test (MN) and comet assay. The GST activity did not s...

Cadmium toxicity affects chlorophyll a and b content, antioxidant enzyme activities and mineral nutrient accumulation in strawberry

Biol. Res; 48 (), 2015
BACKGROUND: Cadmium (Cd) is well known as one of the most toxic metals affecting the environment and can severely restrict plant growth and development. In this study, Cd toxicities were studied in strawberry cv. Camarosa using pot experiment. Chlorophyll and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents, catalase (CAT...

Enhancement of ligninolytic enzyme activities in a Trametes maxima-Paecilomyces carneus co-culture: Key factors revealed after screening using a Plackett-Burman experimental design

Electron. j. biotechnol; 17 (3), 2014
Background In the industrial biotechnology, ligninolytic enzymes are produced by single fungal strains. Experimental evidence suggests that co-culture of ligninolytic fungi and filamentous microfungi results in an increase laccase activity. In this topic, only the ascomycete Trichoderma spp. has been stu...

Influence of rootstocks on growth, yield, fruit quality and leaf mineral element contents of pear cv. 'Santa Maria' in semi-arid conditions

Biol. Res; 47 (), 2014
BACKGROUND: Rootstocks play an essential role to determining orchard performance of fruit trees. Pyrus communisand Cydonia oblonga are widely used rootstocks for European pear cultivars. The lack of rootstocks adapted to different soil conditions and different grafted cultivars is widely acknowledged in ...
