Sex-specific associations of exposure to metal mixtures with telomere length change: Results from an 8-year longitudinal study

Junxiu He et al.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between exposure to metal mixtures and telomere length change among participants in a ferro-manganese refinery. The results showed a negative association between rubidium exposure and telomere length change in men, and a positive association in women. However, no significant association was observed in overall participants. Stratified analysis further revealed significant relationships between rubidium exposure and telomere length change in men, women, and current smokers. These findings highlight the importance of considering sex-dependent heterogeneities in the association between rubidium exposure and telomere length change.

Arsenite induce neurotoxicity of common carp: Involvement of blood brain barrier, apoptosis and autophagy, and subsequently relieved by zinc (II) supplementation

Yu Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the brain damage caused by arsenite exposure in common carp and the protective effects of zinc ion supplementation. Results showed that zinc ion coadministration effectively alleviated oxidative damage, tight junction injuries, nerve conduction depletion, and apoptotic and autophagic cell death induced by arsenite in the brain.

Zinc homeostasis and signaling in the roundworm C. elegans

Brian J. Earley et al.

Summary: C. elegans serves as a powerful model for zinc biology studies, with recent discoveries emphasizing its advantages. The worm's genome encodes highly conserved zinc transporters, and homeostatic mechanisms have been evolved to respond to different zinc conditions. Pathways for high zinc and low zinc homeostasis have been elucidated based on recent discoveries.

Combined exposure to multiple metals and cognitive function in older adults

Lili Xiao et al.

Summary: The study investigated the associations and interactions of multiple metals with cognitive function in older adults. It found that certain metals, such as rubidium and cadmium, were independently associated with cognitive function, with higher levels of rubidium appearing to attenuate the toxic effects of cadmium on cognitive function.
