Pollutant activities can have implications for the quality of agricultural soils, including phytotoxicity at high concentrations and the transfer of heavy metals to the human diet from crop uptake or soil ingestion by grazing livestock (Nicholson et al., 2003). However, heavy metal studies in ...
Therefore, foods rich in Zn such as meat, oysters, legumes, seeds, nuts, dairy foods, eggs, whole grains, some fruits and vegetables, and dark chocolate must be included in the diet to combat Zn deficiency. Oysters are one of the richest sources of Zn, however, keeping in view the ...
Given the significance of fish as a crucial and nutritious element of a balanced diet, it is essential to maintain consistent monitoring and regulation of the levels and origins of heavy metals found within it.Md Moudud AhmedAs-Ad Ujjaman Nur...
Even in herbivorous fish such as grass carp, the principal digestible energy available in the diet is in the form of protein and simple carbohydrates (e.g., disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and hemicelluloses). Protein is a major energy source for all fish, and it appears that blood glucose ...
molecular backbone of biodegradable plastics, together with plant-derived additives, should enhance the usability of biodegradable plastics by augmenting thermal stability and barrier properties. Separation, recycling, and anaerobic digestion of biodegradable plastic materials should generate methane and ...
and magnesium is also involved as a coenzyme with l-tyrosine that converts iodide to iodine for initial storage in the thyroid. So, if you are defficient magnesium in your diet -- you also run the risk of being hypothyroid. The western diet is also well known to be defficient in both...
Heavy metals Soil pollution Irrigation water Wheat crop 1. Introduction The world is focusing on the problem of pollution, which is an undesirable change in the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of air, water and soil that affects the lives of humans and animals (Misra and Mani,...
Seasonal variation in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism of yellow perch (Perca flavescens) chronically exposed to metals in the field. The effects of heavy metals on growth, intermediary metabolism and enzyme activities were investigated in yellow perch (Perca flavescens), sampled in summe... HM Leve...
Importantly, diet high in melatonin from fruits could enhance human health. Also, melatonin could be used to improve the phytoremediation efficiency of plants against different pollutants such as heavy metals. This review discussed the contributing factors on the production and amount of melatonin in ...
Therefore, it is essential to assess the contamination level and identify the sources of heavy metals in the soil to develop appropriate remediation methods and control regulations. In comparison to the total concentration of heavy metals in soil, the chemical fraction (the relative existence of a ...
