Hyperphosphatemia and Cardiovascular Disease

Chao Zhou et al.

Summary: Hyperphosphatemia and even serum phosphate levels within the normal range are associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk and mortality, especially in patients with chronic kidney disease. Current therapeutic strategies involve reducing serum phosphate levels through diet and medication to prevent hyperphosphatemia.

Comparative Metabolite Profile, Biological Activity and Overall Quality of Three Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L., Asteraceae) Cultivars in Response to Sulfur Nutrition

Muna Ali Abdalla et al.

Summary: This study assessed the effects of sulfur (S) nutrition on hydroponically grown lettuce cultivars, finding significant differences in growth, quality, secondary metabolites, and antibacterial activity among different sulfur treatments and lettuce cultivars. The judicious application of S was shown to play a critical role in plant growth, acclimation, and nutritional quality, with potential applications as a promising antimicrobial prototype for medical use.

Selenium Enrichment of Green and Red Lettuce and the Induction of Radical Scavenging Potential

Muna Ali Abdalla et al.

Summary: Foliar application of selenium significantly increased the accumulation of selenium in lettuce plants and enhanced their antioxidant capacity without causing cytotoxicity. Further investigation on the metabolic profiles of lettuce plants under different selenium levels is warranted in future studies.
