Summary: This study investigated the associations between joint exposure to co-existing urinary elements and fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels in a cross-sectional design. The results showed that eight elements (Zn, Se, Fe, Cr, Ni, Cd, Mn, and Al) had a higher influence on FBG. Furthermore, Cd and Zn were found to have a significant association with FBG levels when other co-existing elements were controlled at different levels.

Summary: The field of redox biology aims to understand the regulation and maintenance of redox homeostasis, as well as the mechanisms involved in the development of diseases with oxidative or reductive stress. Targeting oxidative stress therapeutically is challenging due to the delicate cellular redox systems that vary in concentrations across subcellular compartments and depend on the physiological and pathological status of cells and organelles.

Cross-sectional study: Relationship between serum trace elements and hypertension

Zhengduo Zhang et al.

Summary: Levels of serum trace elements show age- and sex-related differences in rural Chinese adults with hypertension and healthy participants. Serum concentrations of Cu, Se, and Cr may be independently associated with hypertension, while higher serum ratios of Cu:Zn and Mg:Mn may also be linked to hypertension. Further randomized trials are needed to clarify the true relationship between levels of Cu, Se, Cr, Cu:Zn, Mg:Mn, and hypertension.

The findings suggest that the levels of manganese from diet, serum, urine, and whole blood do not have a significant association with MetS. However, some studies indicate a non-linear relationship between urinary and blood manganese levels and MetS, and higher dietary manganese may be associated with a lower MetS risk in certain studies.

Powering Research through Innovative Methods for Mixtures in Epidemiology (PRIME) Program: Novel and Expanded Statistical Methods

Bonnie R. Joubert et al.

Summary: Humans are exposed to a variety of chemical and non-chemical mixtures throughout their lives, and it is important to investigate the health impacts of these mixtures. However, there are challenges in analyzing mixture data in epidemiological studies, such as high correlation among health and exposure measures, missing observations, violation of modeling assumptions, and computational challenges. The PRIME program aims to address these challenges by developing and expanding statistical methods for mixtures. This review summarizes new methods from PRIME projects and provides insights for method selection and application.

Association between blood metals mixtures concentrations and cognitive performance, and effect modification by diet in older US adults

Summary: Chronic exposure to heavy metals has been found to be associated with adverse neurological outcomes in older adults. Inflammatory processes may play a role in the neurotoxic effects of metals, while a diet rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory components could potentially protect against chronic inflammation. This study examined the associations between blood concentrations of lead, cadmium, and manganese as a mixture and cognitive performance in older US adults, and also explored the potential modifying effects of diet on these associations. The findings suggest that adherence to an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory diet may prevent the cognitive effects of blood metals in older adults, with variations observed by sex and diet quality.
