To investigate the influence of use oral hormonal contraceptive agents (OCA) on biochemical indices related to metabolic zinc utilization and distribution, bone turnover in young adult women.Cross-sectional study. Blood urine samples from non-users (-OCA; control; n=69) users contraceptives for at least 3 months (+OCA; n=62) were collected under controlled conditions. Indices homeostasis analyzed serum or plasma (total, albumin-bound α2-macroglobulin-bound zinc, albumin total alkaline...
Serum zinc is known to decrease during pregnancy, but the range of individual values at end normal gestation may be considerably large, with uncertain physiological significance in terms maternal status and maternal-fetal transfer zinc. In this study we compared several cord blood indices status, placental zinc, metallothionein relationship between maternal, components, 40 healthy pregnant women delivery different levels serum Subjects were divided into three groups according using as cutoff...
Zinc is an essential micronutrient for gestation, its determination in different compartments of organism during pregnancy important to value the zinc homeostasis, as serum and urine, by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) method par excellence, but institutions low infrastructure does not have this equipment, being therefore alternative colorimetric measurement. In study was adapted a protocol measuring urine from 54 pregnant women attending public hospital Baranoa Township, Atlantic...
We studied the growth and production of pigment microalgae Dunaliella salina cultivated in<br />photobioreactor multicamera oscillating outside laboratory conditions to evaluate effect different<br />concentrations zeolite (ZC). Growth was evaluated by cell count content performed<br />by spectrophotometric techniques. The results indicate that concentration 50 mgL-1 ZC produced<br />a better stimulus on microalga reaching maximum density (MDC) 5.51 ±0.45 x 106<br...
