Numerous essential metal elements (EMEs) are necessary to maintain the proper function of human body. In this case-control study, we investigated the associations of 11 EMEs [Calcium (Ca), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), manganese (Mn), selenium (Se), cobalt (Co), Molybden...
Another study found that MYR reduces ethanol-induced fatty acid synthase and sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c mRNA expression and increases the inhibitory effect of AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylation, thereby reducing ethanol-induced liver cell lipid accumulation [15]. In addition, ...
Understanding the health implications of being underweight underscores the importance of achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. By focusing on nutritious foods, regular physical activity, and seeking professional guidance when needed, individuals can improve their overall health, enhance their quality of...

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a non-invasive technique that uses low levels of red to near-infrared light (650–900 nm) to measure changes in the optical properties of tissue; particularly those due to changes in blood/hemoglobin volume and oxygenation [1,2,3]. For brain ...
The element ___ is essential in red blood cells as it is able to reversibly bind to oxygen. a. calcium b. potassium c. iron d. sodium Fill in the blanks: The term for the liquid part of blood is, which is made up of. What type of blood cell contains hemoglobin and carries oxygen...
hemoglobin has been shown to be a specific ligand for TLR4 [95], which might represent a common etiology for inflammation in other types of hydrocephalus such as post-infectious hydrocephalus. Additionally, hepcidin is a major regulator of iron activity and transport in the brain. It is ...
Zinc, a trace element, plays a significant role in immune cell development and is known for its crucial role as a cofactor for many enzymes (Prasad 2008). An inadequate amount of zinc can lead to defective immunity resulting in increased vulnerability to pneumo- nia (Walker and Black 2004; ...
To mitigate the potential for heme toxicity, there must be proteins that bind and buffer heme, deliver and insert it into downstream hemoproteins, sequester it into a chemically inert form until it is needed, and transport it into and out of various subcellular compartments [4,5,8,12,39,...
